🤯 The Yoga world on social media is EXHAUSTING 🤯
Yes, it probably is a bit of jealousy when I see a photo of someone practicing Yoga on a beautiful, sun drenched beach in a bikini.
But goodness me, where are the photos of people using a belt for a forward fold?!
I want to see people using blocks and chairs and walls to help them find their balance!
Show me photos of people practicing their Yoga in 10 year old T-shirts and joggers, rather than expensive co-ords!
No wonder so many of us are put off joining a Yoga class, when we are BOMBARDED with photos of “perfect” (🤢) poses, in beautiful locations which give us a complete misconception of what Yoga really is.
If you’ve been put off from a Yoga class because you didn’t feel like you should be there, please please please keep looking for another class.
Your teacher is out there, I promise.
There are whole tribes of us practicing at home next to a pile of washing. Wearing clothes that *may* not be freshly laundered and doing Yoga BECAUSE IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD, not because it looks good.
Starting a petition to get real Yoga on social media 🤣 (rant over, enjoy your evening)
