Let’s Debunk Some Common Yoga Myths Together!
Let’s bust some common myths that keep so many people from stepping onto the mat. If you’ve ever said, “I’m not flexible enough for yoga,” or “I can’t sit still that long,” this one’s for you. 🫶
⸻
🔹 MYTH 1: “I have to be flexible to do yoga.”
TRUTH: You do yoga to become more flexible — not the other way around. Flexibility is a result, not a requirement. Yoga meets you exactly where you are.
⸻
🔹 MYTH 2: “Yoga is just stretching.”
TRUTH: While some yoga poses lengthen the muscles, yoga is about so much more — it’s breath, nervous system regulation, emotional release, strength, focus, and inner connection. It’s a whole system of healing.
⸻
🔹 MYTH 3: “Yoga is only for thin/young/fit people.”
TRUTH: Yoga is for every body. There’s no one “yoga body” — because yoga isn’t about how you look, it’s about how you feel. There’s space for YOU here.
⸻
🔹 MYTH 4: “I can’t do yoga because my mind is too busy.”
TRUTH: That’s actually the perfect reason to try it. Yoga isn’t about emptying your mind — it’s about creating space to meet yourself more gently, breath by breath.
⸻
🌿 The truth is, yoga is a healing practice for real, everyday humans. You don’t need to change anything about yourself to begin. Just bring your breath, your body, and your willingness to try.
