Common yoga misconceptions

  • I am inflexible, that’s why i cannot do yoga. This is such a common phrase we hear. But don’t we actually need to embark on something we are not good at to make it better?
  • I was not born a flexible. I was being told i am too inflexible in the spine when i was 7 and interested to try out Dance as my CCA. I was demoralized and ended up signing up Science club as my CCA, learning how to make recycled papers (LOL IKR)
  • In yoga, everyone is in their own journey. No competition and no comparison. We all have room to thrive and improve for the better together, with a close knitted yoga community. I guess we can apply this on and off the mat.
