Yoga isn’t as scary<\/a> as your imagination allows it to be. My favorite excuse is, “I have to stretch before I can try yoga.” Duh? That’s why you go to yoga! The biggest myth is that you can’t go to yoga if you can’t touch your toes! One of the best things about yoga besides the beneficial exercise that you get is the philosophical aspect. There is no judgment in yoga. It’s like going to church; in fact, yoga is my church. My safe haven. I am the girl that can touch her toes, but there are days that my body would feel better if I didn’t, and that’s what yoga teaches you. It teaches you to be aware of your body and to honor how you feel that day at that moment. You are not going to feel the same everyday. So, your biggest challenge isn’t getting to class but rather finding an amazing class to practice in and feel comfortable in to explore. Everything in yoga can be modified and a reputable school or teacher will not only help with that but encourage it. I believe that my yoga practice is a mirror to how I live my life.My reaction towards poses that I may find difficult or maybe finding tolerance with the stinky yogi next to me. I truly believe that the more I practice finding peace on my mat the more I seem to find peace off of it. So I ask you, what would that mean if you have yet to try yoga?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please don’t let the fear of thinking that you have to be a certain way or type keep you from such an amazing tool for life. As I said, every pose in yoga<\/a> can be modified depending on ability or how you are feeling at that given moment. Find your balance between challenging yourself and being in pain. You should not be in pain. Using these modifications and listening to your body is crucial for avoiding injury and enjoying the process. Just as in life, we are all different beings experiencing different things, so of course it too will be that way in your yoga practice. Now you just have to stop having excuses and go because when you don’t want to go means you need to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Most Beneficial Poses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
