I wanna share something with you guys. If you don’t know, i’m a self taught yogi, all done on my own , at home, with some help from tutorials online. I’ve never been to a class and before before i started yoga 4 months ago, i had no training in it and no friends who did yoga either.
I get asked that a lot by other beginner yogis and i always say the same thing. It is all about what you want to do, i was relatively flexible before starting yoga though, i don’t know how but i was. So that made a lot of poses earlier to do. And i do exercise regularly which helps with my arm balances and inversions. I would recommend the same if it’s possible. And though i didn’t have the chance, if you do, go for classes. I bet you’ll love them! I know i would if they were free 😝 haha
Don’t doubt yourself. I did, i started yoga as a cool down and decided to just join a challenge i found on tumblr and i was so overwhelmed by how amazing the other yogis were and now average i was. So i chose to try only simpler poses and i didn’t want to challenge myself. But now i do,
If i didn’t challenge myself to try something new i would always be at the same level. And now i’m way better than i thought i would have been 4 months into yoga. It’s a part of my daily life and i look forward to it everyday! 😊
