Don’t Worry, Stretch Happy
Starting your yoga practice can feel intimidating, and many beginners hold on to common “yoga myths” that prevent them from enjoying the practice.
- I’m too inflexible for yoga – Though you may not be as flexible as a seasoned instructor, in time you can get there. With patience and consistent practice, you’ll find that you’re able to hold even the most advanced poses.
- I won’t get a workout – Not every class is designed for a workout, but there are classes that are structured to be a challenging workout.
- People will be better than me – Yoga isn’t competitive. Studios prefer to focus on developing love and kindness towards yourself and others rather than a competition of who is better.
- I won’t know the poses – That’s ok! You’ll be able to build your practice from the mat up with instructors who can teach you everything.
