π¨ YOGA MYTHS π¨
πΉ Myth - You have to be flexible to do yoga!
πΈ Fact - On Instagram, yogis are acrobats and contortionists, but the real yoga isn't about that all. From the physical perspective, yoga is about mindful movement. It's about placing your attention on the current of the breath underneath various yoga postures. Itβs an attitude of presence and self-acceptance, focusing more on 'how' than βwhat.
πΉ Myth - It's only for young people!
πΈFact - There are many different types of Yoga, not all Yoga is based on the floor. There is Yoga that incormporates a chair & that can be used to help with fall prevention. There is a style and type of Yoga out there for everyone of all ages.
πΉ Myth - Yoga is not a workout!
πΈ Fact - The physical aspect yoga was created to exhaust the body and mind so that it can be free and clear for meditation. These watered down stretching classes that some people call yoga are not the be all end all of yoga, they are simply representative of one style that someone created and many followed. Everything evolves, and many people have created many different styles that all coexist under the broad umbrella of yoga
πΉ Myth - All Yoga is the same!
πΈ Fact - One of the biggest myths in modern yoga is that yoga is a unitary practice, and that every yogiβs practice can and must be the same. The reality is that yoga is not a singular practice at all, but rather a multiplicity of movement. Some of the wonderful diversity in yoga comes in the form of accessibility through the use of props, safety through the use trauma-informed practice and joy through the use of narratives and language that speak uniquely to different yogic populations. The goal is to find ways to make the practice fit the yogi, not the other way around
