Struggling to appreciate the calming benefits of yoga? Let’s take a peek into why some yogis are more ‘namaste-off’ than ‘namaste-on’.
Summary
- The tempo of the class is too fast for beginners’ comfort.
- Some find certain poses more painful than challenging.
- Feelings of anger and frustration overshadow the intended tranquility.
- Exploring different class types and approaches may be the key to enjoyment.
Finding the Right Fit
Not all yoga classes may suit your needs. Experimenting with different teachers, styles, and settings could lead to a more fulfilling experience, like a child’s pose amidst chaos.
Embracing the Emotions
Using yoga as a mirror to reflect on and manage negative emotions can transform rage into strength, even if the poses seem out of reach.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
For those struggling with mental health, gentler practices like Yin yoga and meditation might offer the solace and peace that a fast-paced class fails to provide.
