Yoga Myths
Stop buying into those Yoga myths
Yoga has
made its way into the collective American psyche. But it does not matter that
all people practice yoga in America they do it in right way. In fact “yoga in America”
totals practitioners 36 million in 2016 according to a survey but in 2012 it
was 20 million around, it means the total number of yoga practitioners are increased
50 percent. That the growth in 4 year. In fact numerous yoga myths abound many
them are changing contently. That’s the time set the myths straight and stop
faking the myths are used to spread.
Those misconceptions
are not developed in one day. It developed in many years. If you are holding
any misconception about yoga here is the realistic explanation about yoga. Let’s
get the truth behind the myths.
Here are the 5 Myths:
1.Flexible to do yoga:
Saying you
have to be flexible means you have to go gym and you should get in a shape that
you are able to do all the critical position that a beginner can do. There can
be relation between flexible and yoga but don’t have to be in a shape that you
have to go to gym.
If you want
to touch your feet to yoga practice but if you are new at this it may be
difficulty. Whether or not you are not flexible over the time as more you
practice you can be flexible. So stop believing the myths.
2.Thin, Young, beautiful:
The image of
yoga in America a young beautiful blond thin woman doing yoga taking picture of
them posting in social media. This is the attractive image of yoga it can be
inspiration of young ladies who want to join yoga. This is not the true image
of yoga.
Says the
jeans Rose “Yoga is for our brother, sister, mother, father. Yoga is for all.
Yoga means union. Stop misleading the people.
According to
the survey only 90 percent of yoga practitioners are from 18-25 age groups. The
30 above group is also vast than 50+ age group. This is not completely true
that yoga is for young people Yoga can do old folks also.
Regarding to
the misconception about “Thin”. It is not true. You need to be thin to practice
yoga. Fats people are also welcome to this community. Stop believing misconception.
3.Yoga is a Religion:
There is a
lot in yoga things are appear from many religions. But there is spiritual
element to practice yoga. But it is important that yoga is not region itself.
There is myths among the christens “yoga comes from India roots where mantras
and chants are used for many years” we can’t denied this totally but if we are
talking about the mantras and chats that are used to do in yoga. It is not
required to do in yoga.
4.Yoga is about stretching:
You have to
believe that yoga is not about stretching. When you do proper yoga class with a
yoga instructor then you can feel real thing about yoga. But while we do the asana
(pose) that you can feel sometime stretching.
Yoga is
about “breathe” you have to lot more focus into inhale and exhale your breathe.
“The true goal will be to move your body connect with your breathe” so be in
present movement.
This is why
most of the people who are practice yoga regularly they don’t do workout rather
than yoga.
5.Don’t do in pregnancy Period:
While it can
feel difficult in sometimes but exercise is good for health for a pregnant
woman. During the pregnancy period lady can do yoga with little more carefully.
Do not even think to try any difficult position yoga moves. If you do it then
it can cause you serious damage to your body especially to your baby.
I would
recommend you have to have a qualified yoga instructor that he/she can
instructor can direct you in right way so you can achieve benefit and not the
harmful part that can cause you a serious trouble.
