You can say it’s genetics 🧬 and that would be a fair argument. But you can only really say that after decades of dedication and a million reps under your belt. 👉🏽 To improve at yoga (and everything else) - repetition is everything 🙏🏾

How “perfect” do your Yoga poses need to look for them to be effective? Is your “tightness” the limiting factor or do you simply reflect where you are? 😏🫥🧐

You don’t need to be flexible to start. The same way you don’t need to be healed before you see a therapist 😃🫥🙏🏾

A continuation from my last reel where I spoke about “Stiffness” in Yoga. Most people think the are just way too stiff. That stiffness in your muscles feeling isn’t who you are, rather it’s where you are. It’s temporary and with time and repetition, your muscles will feel better. Trust the process and trust the science 👍🏽🙏🏾

I get asked this question all the time and the answer isn’t what you think 💭 🧠 - the truth about being too stiff for yoga 🙏🏾

The irony is the harder you try, the worse some poses can feel. If that’s you, it’s worth looking at through a different lense 👓
I appreciate more than anyone that there is more to yoga than stretching, but early days that’s all it really is. Stretching and moving. And you only see the real magic ✨ once you learn to find that balance between pushing and letting go. For what it’s worth, I’m still working it out myself. Everyday is another battle 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Just how important is understanding your alignment in Yoga Poses? 🧐
The answer is never straightforward (sorry about that 😩🫣) and there are always nuances. But the answer is dependant on the demand. The same way any structure is built. The way it is “stacked up” depends on the demand that will be placed on it.

My first yoga class was hard. Then I stopped trying to be good at yoga… and started letting it change me.

Beginner courses, daily classes, Fit & Flow and traditional Hatha yoga.
Classes run 7 days a week 🙏🏽

The pelvis is like the foundation of a building (metaphoricaly framed). If it’s even slightly off-level, the whole structure feels wonky and unstable (science backs this: pelvic tilts from muscle imbalances affect posture, balance, and how poses like folds or backbends land) ⚖️😩🤷🏾‍♂️
👇🏽
I broke mine many moons ago falling off a moped 🏍️(wish that story was cooler, tbh) and I’ve spend my fair share of years studying it. 👉🏽 Turns out even something small like stepping off a curb awkwardly can nudge your pelvis out of alignment. It’s your centre of gravity, so when it’s off, everything’s off. Balance wobbles and poses can feel rubbish 🥹
The sollution to those days you feel worse at yoga? Don’t push or fight your body on those tough days. Yoga progress is never linear. embrace the fluctuations. Rejoice on the good days and laugh off the bad ones. You will be back to normal next week 🫶🏽

Have you been on the mat and thought 💭 “am I even doing this properly?” 🤷🏾‍♂️🫣
As far as I’m concerned, if you are not in pain when in the pose, you are winning. The less someone knows, the more of a fuss they make about what is the right or wrong way to do a yoga pose. The more a yoga teacher knows, the less the fuss. This is called the Yoga Dunning-Kruger Paradox.
👇🏽
A cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge in Yoga overestimate their expertise and competence, leading them to be more dogmatic or fussy about “rules”.

When I say “traditional”, I don’t mean the 1940’s. I’m talking way back. In the case of 🦚 - the 10th century. I’ll be writing an in depth blog on the origins and history of these poses so sign up to our newsletter - www.AkramYoga.co.uk 🙏🏾
Also….. auto captions changed Vajrasana to Roger Asan and I thought, why not? 🙄

With my experience, I can tell you that a lot of modern yoga is built on myths, not movement science. We treat cues as gospel and chase shapes our skeletons were never meant to make.
