Mistake #1: Always Starting With the Stronger Side

Always start with your weaker side and then move on to the strong one. This helps the less flexible side to open and level up to the other one.

Why Balance Matters in Yoga

Balance in yoga basically means being in sync with your mind and body. It improves awareness, coordination, and stability — key to holding poses safely and preventing injuries.

Mistake #2: Skipping the Hard Poses

Skipping those "I can't bend like this" poses might look tempting, but sooner or later, your body will regret that decision. Challenge yourself and see your body do wonders.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Our very own Bebo never stopped her yoga journey, even during her pregnancy. Growth in yoga begins where comfort ends — each new pose challenges your body and expands your mind.

Mistake #3: Skipping Practice If Time Is Short

Running late? Your yoga mat does not need to know that. Every minute counts, and those rounds of Surya Namaskara, if done correctly for just 10 minutes straight, will give your body that extra pump.

Create Your Mini Yoga Routine

Keep it simple, but build your yoga routine that caters to your body. Start slow and then later jump onto complicated asanas, followed by a 2-minute break and breathing exercise post each posture.

Yoga Is Grit + Grace

Yoga isn’t just calm vibes — it’s strength, patience, and flow. Grit builds you. Grace carries you. There's a reason the West is turning to yoga suddenly; it's time you do it too!

Rujuta’s Reminder: Keep It Real

Keep it simple, real, and also a little fun! Do the most basic exercises initially and level up later. Treat yoga time as a sacred ritual and watch the magic unfold.

You Don’t Need Perfect. Just Practice.

Consistency is the real glow-up. Keep showing up, and one day you’ll pull off that fairy-tale-level asana like it’s nothing.
