been doing yoga for two years, def could touch my toes by now, turns out i was just bending my knees the whole timeguy did hot yoga for a month and his brain just... stopped making him anxious about things he can't control? the comments are people admitting they only stretched once and felt weird about it 😭A yoga teacher explained that most people's tight hips aren't actually tight — they're just scared. Spent the last week noticing which poses make me hold my breath and it's genuinely changed everything 🧘‍♀️there's this yoga instructor who documents every pose she's ever taught — with photos from like 1995 onward — and you can filter by body type, injury, whatever you need. it's weirdly moving to scroll through 30 years of the same asana evolving 🧘this guy taught himself yoga from library books in the 90s and his spine is still doing things that make physical therapists uncomfortable! 🧘‍♂️📚✨Yoga instructor told me I was holding tension in places I didn't know existed. Turns out I've been clenching my jaw during downward dog for three years.
