Yoga isn’t about fitting your body into a pose. It’s about fitting the pose to your body. 🧘‍♀️

✨If your wrists hurt during Downward Facing Dog, don’t force through the pain. Try this customization instead:

~ Bypass the wrists completely and come down to your forearms. If keeping your arms parallel is hard on your shoulders, then try bringing your hands together to see if that helps.
~ Or, stay on your hands but place a towel beneath the heel of your palms. Make sure you can grip the may with your finger tips to keep from sliding.
~ Either way, focus on pushing the floor away and keeping your knees bent.

The ONE mistake most beginners make in Plank Pose is letting their hips sag, which compresses the lower back.

🛑Instead of pushing through a potentially painful position, follow these tips:

1. Press firmly through your hands to puff up the space between your shoulder blades.
2. Pull your belly button to your spine to light up your core safely.
3. Engage your legs and extend out through heels.

You do not need to be flexible to start doing yoga.

❌️Saying you're too stiff for yoga is like saying you're too dirty to take a bath.

If you can't touch your toes in a forward fold, first of all - that is okay. But if you really want to, then try this:

1. Instead of keeping your legs straight and rounding through your back - bend your knees, hinge at your hips, and rest your belly on your thighs.
2. Let your head, shoulders, and arms hang heavy.
Bonus - Sway side to side to release your tight lower back.

You don't need perfect balance or flexible legs to reap the benefits of standing yoga poses.

If you constantly tip over during balance practice, do this instead:
1. Move your mat right next to a wall or place a chair nearby.
2. Place one hand firmly on the wall for absolute stability.
3. Firmly root your standing foot into the mat and engage the muscles in your legs and core.
4. Focus on something steady to help you balance.

Yoga blocks aren't for "cheating"—they are your secret weapon to a practice tailored to you.

Here is exactly how to use a block to make sitting cross-legged feel amazing for tight hips:

1. Sit right on the edge of the block to tilt your pelvis forward.
2. Choose 1 of the foot postitions in the video.
3. Without forcing them, let your knees open to the sides comforatbly to release tension.
4. Rest your hands on your knees and breathe comfortably.

Move slow, be gentle, and listen to your body when trying to relieve tension in your back.

After a long day, try some or all of these poses to give your back a reset and remember to rest.
