Let’s break them down, so we can level up together:
1️⃣ Skipping foundational poses. These are the key to building a strong, sustainable practice. If you take the time to understand your foundational postures, and continue to study them when you can do fancy things, your practice with thrive.
2️⃣ Staying in the ‘beginner’ stage too long. I was SO guilty of this! I stayed way too long working to master the same small group of poses. I was waiting to be ready. For someone to tell me it was time. And, you know what? No one was coming to tell me anything. Remember: Growth happens when we’re willing to explore new challenges. 🌿
3️⃣ Using the same approach to postures. Your body evolves, and your approach should too. And, it is the definition of insanity to continue to approach a posture the same way every time and expect a different result. Take it from me, when you find other points of entry into a posture, you will unlock your practice from any kind of 'stuck-ness'.
4️⃣ Thinking advanced poses are for ‘other people.' If you’ve ever thought “I could never do that,” it’s time to rethink what’s possible for you. I always thought I was too tall for inversions... and now I couldn't imagine my practice without them. They are so fun! Every posture is for YOU.
5️⃣ Not learning from experienced teachers . A decade (or more!) of teaching brings wisdom you just can’t get anywhere else. There is a big difference between the student I was 20 years ago and the teacher I am today. And, when I graduated from my first teacher training, I continued to pursue further education multiple times each year.
This is not the case for all yoga teachers. So, choose your teachers wisely. Work with people that can answer your questions and guide you further down the path.
💬Which one of these mistakes do you see yourself in? Or maybe a little of all of them? Let’s chat about it in the comments.
If you’re ready to move past these common blocks, I’d love to help you get unstuck.🤸
