#Repost per credit from & the courtesy of @alexandriacrowyoga ・・・ CONVERSATION STARTER - What are the yoga and yoga practice misconceptions that you wish you would get cleared up once and for all? How do you go about creating change around the misconceptions that you run up against? How do you explain them without shutting people down? Building on a post that my friend @kayamindlin put up asking us to share our yoga misunderstanding pet peeves and as she said, not to gripe, but to share. My hope is so that we can I have a list that seems to stay about the same. Some of the highlights from that list in relation to general misconceptions are: You must be really flexible/strong/in “good shape” if you teach yoga. Yoga is anything you do mindfully. Yoga is about flexibility, stability, anything that is related to gain. The poses are the yoga. Yoga is exercise/fitness. And others. How do I create change around these? Well, the public ones I use as an opportunity to elevator pitch (I mean in the describe what, why, and who it’s for) to remove the misconceptions. I spend a lot of time on this one in Ubers. Then for the rest, this page, class I teach, workshops I lead, the D2R Web Course, and now the YP Community Membership all serve as places to have these dialogues and to offer ways to bring about change. What are your yoga misconception bothers at the moment and how do you go about changing them? #yogaphysics #deconstructtoreconstruct #ypcommunity #yogaevolution #yogaforeveryone #accessibleyoga #yogablog #modernyoga #yogarevolution #yoga101 #yoga #yogateacher #yogapose #yogapractice #sidecrow #followyoga #yogaeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dVpHbDEFe/?igshid=1iui5u3evfrpo
