When It's Time To Ditch Yoga Classes

This is gonna be deep so grab a double shot (...of coffee...why? What did you think it meant?...yeah, yeah...whatever), let's get into it...

The thing with only attending studio classes, is that they will only take you so far.

You see, to be financially viable, studios must teach accessible yoga. Now what does that loaded statement mean?

It means, that the average class must teach yoga that a person walking in off the street, for the first time can attempt.

Now a lot of the poses that a newbie can attempt can be optioned up .i.e. side angle can be bound, and then taken to bound triangle and onto bound half moon. This is great for aspiring yogis.

But how often would you get to practice these sorts of options? Not much.

So every time you're in a class that offers these options, you wobble your way through them.

The yogis who're nailing the optioned up poses, practice those poses. This means that they do yoga outside of class.

To make the move from queen of the class, to true asana advancement, means that you need to outgrow class.  Say what!?!

Yep, comes a time when to be a true yogi, you need to ditch class and get on with it yourself.

Now, that's yoga! J
