1. Need to be flexible to do yoga – Vs – Flexibility is an outcome of an appropriate practice
2. Yoga is not for strength – Vs – Move & Stay in a well aligned posture while maintaining calm breath & discover how limits show up
3. I need more action – Vs – Mindful action, Plenty to pay attention there. Just watch how the Self rebels.
4. Yoga = Perfect postures – Vs – Mind, breath & body alignment
5. Pranayama = Breathwork – Vs – Pranayama is a highly nuanced science, its powerful, impacts deep, no force involved in it.
6. No Pain No Gain – X – An Outdated approach to work with body. Anything done with body is done to mind too. Anything done to mind impacts body. Body & mind are inseparable.
7. All yoga out there is same – Unfortunately its like the story of blind men & the elephant
