Does your yoga pose have to look like everyone else’s? Not at all. 🤍
I remember being a beginner and looking around the room during class, trying to work out if I was doing the pose “right”.
And I still see this happen with new students today.
Yes, there are alignment principles in yoga, and they’re there for a reason. But alignment doesn’t mean every body has to create exactly the same shape.
Your pose might look different from the person next to you.
And it might look different from your teacher’s version too.
Our proportions, mobility, strength, anatomy and experience are all different,so naturally, our poses will look different too.
Use alignment as a guide, not a mould.
This is episode 2 of my “Things I Notice in My Yoga Classes” series, where I share the things I’ve noticed after nearly 10 years of teaching in-person yoga.
Next up: flexibility. 👀
