Avoid these 5 Common Yoga Mistakes to decrease your fitness pains and injuries. Learn the corrective exercise modifications to keep you pain free and fit with the expertise of Dr.’s Remy and Martinez. WEBSITE: http://www.painfreeandfit.com. WEBSITE: http://www.posturcise.com
Yoga is fantastic for stress relief, flexibility, and overall health. It can be a little bit intimidating for newcomers, but that’s no reason to shy away from the exercise and miss out on all of the health benefits. Here are 3 common mistakes to avoid that beginners often. Avoid one of the most common mistakes and never go to poses, which can be dangerous for your body.
The head-support is among the poor posture in case of migraines or blood pressure. Those who suffer from spinal problems should also avoid this yoga exercise. This is one of the Common Yoga Mistakes to Avoid in every session.
It happens when you disregard safety landmarks or push yourself while you’re short of breath. Ignoring physical pain to achieve a pose is another common misstep. All. 2 Mistakes by Yoga Newcomers: Bouncing in Feet First. Having decided that they can give this Yoga thing a go many people take some sort of running leap and jump into a 12 month point by stage class.
These classes are typically an upfront payment agreement and progress from one level to a higher as the weeks improvement. Mistake One: Not knowing what you want from Yoga. The reality is that there are numerous different styles and forms of Yoga and each has it’s different attractions. Ask yourself what it was about Yoga in general that attracted you and then you can investigate a style that caters more specifically to that.
A common mistake that people make is trying to fit the body to a particular pose instead of fitting the pose to the body. This is because people think that there is something to achieve or to get to by practicing yoga. Avoid this mistake and just stay focused and relaxed while practicing yoga. Do not hold your breath.
Having said that, here are 3 common mistakes all yoga beginners should avoid. 1. Not Knowing What You Want To Achieve From Yoga. Despite being a relaxing sport, Yoga is still a very broad spectrum in general. Besides liking Yoga as what most beginners do, you need to know what you want to achieve and how to go about fulfilling your objectives.
Yoga Teachers Reveal 6 Common Yoga Mistakes to AvoidThe world of yoga has changed a great deal since Lilias Folan’s PBS show “Lilias, Yoga and You” brought yoga into living rooms across the United Sta | Get your daily dose of ideas and approved workouts and we promise you will find the easiest and simplest workout programs in all of our thousands of articles tailored for a better form in no time. Mistake # One: Not understanding what you desire from Yoga. If you do then it’s a great concept to discuss them with the trainer of your class prior to starting yoga. Yoga trainers are typically really friendly and pleased to talk about their enthusiasm.
Yoga has so many health benefits, on both a physical and spiritual level, that it would be a tragedy for anyone to miss out on them because they made a silly avoidable mistake on their first day. Whenever we start something new we have a certain feeling of trepidation and uncertainty of the unknown and in most cases it is completely unfounded.
List of related literature:
That said, the first “bad yoga teacher” list I encountered was titled, “How to Spot a Bad Yoga Teacher: 10 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore.”19 In this entry, warning signs are provided to help would-be practitioners best identify when yoga teachers are no longer categorized as “good.”
At the same time, those who had never done yoga before find it too uneasy and confusing having to repeat and learn the sequence of movements relying only on the audios and on the drawings distributed by the instructors.
There are, in turn, many styles within Hatha yoga itself, including Anada, Ashtanga, Bikram, Integral, Iyengar, Kripalu, Kundalini, Sivananda, Viniyoga, and Vinyasa.
I have never subscribed to any one form of yoga, nor any one teacher, but have taken the attitude that I can learn something from everyone, even a new teacher freshly out of her teacher training.
This is my first video of yours and it’s 1:30am and I decided to do some poses while watching this video. Thanks for the motivation to keep pushing and keep practicing.
I think an important tip is also finding a teacher that makes you love and enjoy yoga. Every practice is so different and every teacher has its own style and way of teaching, so finding what’s more suitable for you is the key. Great video anyway, thank you!
Watched this video and took notes on the day I started my renewed yoga journey, I had told myself for YEARS that yoga was what my body needed after sitting at a desk all day and ending up stiff and in chronic pain. I’m on day 41 of yoga today with a 365 day goal! THANK YOU FOR THIS. Making it a priority is SO important.
Girl, i just pulled out my mat and am about to do a sessioni…your video is so Real and so true!! So for all the but hurting because of the editing, well hey, its worth it, you are fantastic, motivational, energizing, i could think of loads of compliments to add but i think the best thanks is tuning on adrianne and starting my 30 days! Thanks and ps: u have my subsctiption ❤️
Loved this video!! Thank you pls could you do a video around evolving your individual flow during a session, I feel like I’m ready to go without a video but not sure how to start. (If you haven’t already, I’m a fairly new subscriber)
Good tips Kirsten! I have one more, if you do yoga with a video, prepare some video’s the day before that speak to you. its really annoying when you notice your scrolling through videos for 15 min in the morning.. (that’s why I like these 30 day yoga series, I can walk my zombie ass to my mat and just start and after few minutes its like yaay! glad im doing it)
I just discovered Kristen because of Yoga with Adriene 30 Day Challenge which I just started. I really like how real she is. I’m kind of inspired to make YouTube videos. Also, this doesn’t look edited which is great! Kirsten seems so honest, natural, real. Just subscribed.
Wow thank you, I needed to hear this!! “Match the actions to the brain”. I hear you! I think the tip about doing yoga as soon as I think of it instead of trying to find the “perfect” time is the tip I most need to do. Love your videos! ❤️
I appreciate this video man. I just got into yoga and I’m fucking terrible at form and how to properly do the poses. I have sculiosis and it isn’t as easy to do it properly. Thank you sir.
Can you make a video on doing and figuring out what we really want and keep on doing it, in general? I think the way you give emphasis on certain things through your speech is logical and it can motivate people.
I really like the thing you said about..the person in your head shd match up to the person you are acting to be..it’s like wowww!! That makes sooo much sense. Thanks!
I needed this so much, you have justified so much of my feelings in a couple of your points. I’ve only just come back to yoga after several years of watching videos for 2 minutes then giving up because I felt like I wasn’t aligning properly and I just wasn’t sure how long to do it and what kind of a flow to follow. I wanted to start so much but now, finally, I am in the mindset of start small, build your confidence, build your knowledge of some of the positions and slowly add and increase’. I have now done 10 mins of yoga every single day, the same video, and I have built the confidence to find a new flow to follow and see where it takes me. I was also finding it really hard to give my all, my mind, body and heart and forget about the real world for a few minutes during yoga which was really hard for me, as I think that you are somewhat meditating. I just feel like I am ready and I really really feel that from within. I hope that anyone else who really wants to do yoga will find it within them and start sometime soo <3
So glad this lady told us all off! I know i needed that and decided to practice three moves everyday already feel better and stronger. Also in these times off lockdown i’m going to have a mass declutter we collect and hold onto so much junk and garbage, rooms filled with stuff we don’t need or will ever use and spend hours of wasted emotions and time looking after this useless stuff…..Going to create a cool yoga room with lots of space and light.
I started yoga 3 weeks ago with a class on saturdaymorning. I felt so awesome and felt myself changing (even after 1 class) so much, that I now follow a class every saturdaymorning and do it at home the other days ❤
Wow! I was shocked at how few subscribers you have because of how professional and genuine your videos are! You just earned yourself a new subscriber Keep doing exactly what you’re doing and your channel will grow, I just know it!
I love how Youtube is telling me to watch all of these awesome creators that I’ve never seen before. New subscriber here and OKAY IM GETTING MY MAT OUT!
as a yoga teacher, i 100% agree with going to a class every once in a while. even one class every week or every other week. sometimes not everyone knows what proper alignment is and they can really hurt themselves. plus there’s something special about that 75 minute class without distractions and nothing beats that savasana at the end
Wow, that’s excatly what I have been trying to tell my friends after doing yoga for more then a year but you explain it so much more clearly:) Especially I think the first two points are the main reason why people give up, they set themselves to fail by setting to high goals, you should start baby steps, eventually you internalise the habit and you do it because you know how much better you feel after it. In the end you cannot imagine to not do it every single day, at least that’s what happened to me:)
For years I used to be the person telling myself “I’ll get around to doing yoga regularly someday.” I finally just started DOING IT in June 2019 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was easy for me to make it a daily habit when I quickly realized how amazing it feels!! I tend to have anxiety about things I need to do in the day, but yoga quiets your mind so you’re less worried about to-do lists. That’s why it’s important to just get on the mat and DO YOGA instead of stressing over it, like you said!!
Ahh I love your content so much Kirsten! Discovered you after the Yoga with Adriene reviews and just think your videos are awesome you keep it real, you’re funny and down to earth and so wise! I wish we could go to yoga class together keep up the awesome work! Xx
Haha, should probably try to go to a class. After doing yoga every day for a year…:D Anyway most important for me is that a session can be 5 minutes or an hour, whatever works for that day.
videos like this usually make me question myself “why am I not doing it? what am I waiting for?” and I feel so bad about myself that im just SAYING i will do it without actually DOING it, but this time i feel so proud of myself cuz i already started doing yoga a year ago and its the best thing ever happened to me. Thank you for this amazing video im sure a lot of people will benefit.
It’s true…. the hardest part is rolling out that mat. I’m doing Adriene’s new 30 day challenge and loving it. I have been doing yoga for about six months (although I slipped out of it over Christmas) and it’s changing my life. Adriene is like that friend who always knows what to say to keep you going. Best of luck to everyone… you got this!
I am watching this as I did my 30 Day with Adrienne Challenge ha ha ha. But it’s True. Commitment and Discipline is where it’s at. I do my Yoga Sessions right after I wake up because I know I will be putting it off later on since I have tons of assignments to do for Uni. So better get it in the first thing in the morning! And also, it warms up my cold muscles from lying in bed all night.
If you are young, superflexible and been practicing yoga for a long time yes it is possible to do yoga every day. But to be realistic if you’re a beginner doing the same deep stretches every day will soon lead to injury because the muscle and connective tissue need sufficient time (normally a day or 2) to repair and forcing yourself to do yoga when your body is sore is not enjoyable and counterproductive to developing flexibility. This video is irresponsible.
This is incredible. Thank you!! I feel like every word you speak has been on my mind for wayyyyy to long!! I needed this!! Now..time for me to get on the mat!!!
it is all so true and you are very right! i have been doing yoga and working out daily ever since my qurantine started (so about a month ago) and i have never felt better. Kirsten is right: you want somethingD O I T, just move your ducking ass up from the couch! start from 10 minutes/day, and you will be surprised what that time can do!
I like how simple and funny you are, and still making a good point:) I started doing yoga with Adriene a few months ago, and yoga really changed a lot of things, mostly my perspective, let’s say. I just feel great and I even stoped smoking just like that! And its funny how there is a voice in my head that is telling me and reminding me of doing yoga, like a funny alarm:) Yoga rules and keep up the good work girl <3 😉
Kirsten…where have been?? I swear you’ve been watching me and my lame excuses for NOT unrolling my mat! I came by you accidently and am so happy to have found you because this is exactly the kick in the pants I’ve needed!!Thank you so very much, I just finished Day One and am leaving my stuff out so it will be ready for me tomorrow! Thanks for getting this old girl moving <3
i really appreciated this video! Literally speaking to me lol. I just watched your ‘is yoga with adriene worth it” & it made me excited & glad I started. i’m only on day 2, and your pep talk here definitely is going to help me! Thanks!
Would you say after completing 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene, and after practicing her fundamentals video, I’d be ready to join a yinyasa yoga class? Thank you so much! Great video!
I’ve been struggling with this in my mind lately and when I saw this video I thought “youtube is reading my mind now!”. This was something I needed to hear at this time so I am thankful for your video. ❤️
You’ve motivated me so much! I go to my yoga class every sunday but want to start do yoga everyday. So today (sunday) I’m going to my class, and toworrow as you said I better start doing it! ^^
This scares me a bit honestly. I’m doing 30 days of yoga with Adrienne at home and that’s it. It’s not possible for me to go to a yoga class at the moment. I don’t have good coordination and sometimes I have knee pain when I do some types of exercises, I just don’t want to hurt myself. You’re right I don’t have anyone checking on my form, so I don’t know if I’m doing the exercises correctly.
hey =) I started a yoga practice today with YWA and your video popped up when I was done. I think you’re funny and it kinda got me even more motivated to bring a daily yoga back into my life <3
After searching for ‘common yoga mistakes’, surprisingly, a video from a small channel (yours!) pops up first. I like the tips your gave, I hope to remember and apply them when watching other youtube yogins. Particularly for intemediate to advanced poses these mistakes pop up easily, and I like that you mention this.
What I did find issue with, is that you need a microphone. Sound quality is much better when you speak and you avoid jarring contrast between soft and loud sounds as well as avoiding echoes. The voiceover volume isn’t consistent as well, in the beginning your voice was clear, but a few minutes in I had to turn up the volume to 90 to hear you. Finally, the subscribe animation at 2:18 was intrusive and almost prevented me from and liking the video and subscribing to your channel (thankfully, I did both).
Hope this advice helped. I’m not a Youtube content creator though, so as for specific implementation I have less to provide. Thanks!
I cant get myself ready doing yoga berofe my job, i have wake up at 5 am and I hate waking up so early, what makes me in a bad mood all day. I feel so rushed in the morning. Does anyone have any advice?
Hi Kirsten, question: how do you make sure that all the editing/sitting behind a desk isn’t catastrophic for your body? I always feel like my back and neck are under so much pressure all the time…
This reminds me of my daughter “encouraging” (read nagging lovingly) me to get out and walk for my own good and I also was not getting my wonderful dog out walking. She said, “Mom, when have you ever come in from a walk and said, “well, I wish I hadn’t done THAT!'” Of course the answer is NEVER. And for me? Daily yoga is the same.
Hello! Amazing video! I’ve got a question or maybe a problem, I don’t know yet: I’m very flexible, more than ‘average’ especially on my back and tend to achieve very easily some asanas but the thing is: how do I know if I’m doing them right, with the right posture, and not over stretching them? Thank you for your time and sorry if my English is wrong, it’s not my mother language
This is my first video of yours and it’s 1:30am and I decided to do some poses while watching this video. Thanks for the motivation to keep pushing and keep practicing.
Yikes I’ve been doing almost everything wrong! Thanks for the video sis! New subby currently doing the 7day challenge. Much love❤️✨
I think an important tip is also finding a teacher that makes you love and enjoy yoga. Every practice is so different and every teacher has its own style and way of teaching, so finding what’s more suitable for you is the key. Great video anyway, thank you!

Half way through and I have tears in my eyes. You’re very funny and 100% right with these points. Thank you for the pep talk. ❤️
Kirsten…where have been?? I swear you’ve been watching me and my lame excuses for NOT unrolling my mat! I came by you accidently and am so happy to have found you because this is exactly the kick in the pants I’ve needed!!Thank you so very much, I just finished Day One and am leaving my stuff out so it will be ready for me tomorrow! Thanks for getting this old girl moving <3
i really appreciated this video! Literally speaking to me lol. I just watched your ‘is yoga with adriene worth it” & it made me excited & glad I started. i’m only on day 2, and your pep talk here definitely is going to help me! Thanks!
Would you say after completing 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene, and after practicing her fundamentals video, I’d be ready to join a yinyasa yoga class? Thank you so much! Great video!
I’ve been struggling with this in my mind lately and when I saw this video I thought “youtube is reading my mind now!”. This was something I needed to hear at this time so I am thankful for your video. ❤️
You’ve motivated me so much! I go to my yoga class every sunday but want to start do yoga everyday.
So today (sunday) I’m going to my class, and toworrow as you said I better start doing it! ^^
I just love how you do you so naturally…. huh! Must be what you are about
I love your accent and your message. Keep it up you have something special.
This scares me a bit honestly. I’m doing 30 days of yoga with Adrienne at home and that’s it. It’s not possible for me to go to a yoga class at the moment. I don’t have good coordination and sometimes I have knee pain when I do some types of exercises, I just don’t want to hurt myself. You’re right I don’t have anyone checking on my form, so I don’t know if I’m doing the exercises correctly.
hey =) I started a yoga practice today with YWA and your video popped up when I was done. I think you’re funny and it kinda got me even more motivated to bring a daily yoga back into my life <3
Great video, I have some feedback.
After searching for ‘common yoga mistakes’, surprisingly, a video from a small channel (yours!) pops up first. I like the tips your gave, I hope to remember and apply them when watching other youtube yogins. Particularly for intemediate to advanced poses these mistakes pop up easily, and I like that you mention this.
What I did find issue with, is that you need a microphone. Sound quality is much better when you speak and you avoid jarring contrast between soft and loud sounds as well as avoiding echoes. The voiceover volume isn’t consistent as well, in the beginning your voice was clear, but a few minutes in I had to turn up the volume to 90 to hear you. Finally, the subscribe animation at 2:18 was intrusive and almost prevented me from and liking the video and subscribing to your channel (thankfully, I did both).
Hope this advice helped. I’m not a Youtube content creator though, so as for specific implementation I have less to provide. Thanks!
I cant get myself ready doing yoga berofe my job, i have wake up at 5 am and I hate waking up so early, what makes me in a bad mood all day. I feel so rushed in the morning. Does anyone have any advice?
Hi Kirsten, question: how do you make sure that all the editing/sitting behind a desk isn’t catastrophic for your body? I always feel like my back and neck are under so much pressure all the time…
This reminds me of my daughter “encouraging” (read nagging lovingly) me to get out and walk for my own good and I also was not getting my wonderful dog out walking. She said, “Mom, when have you ever come in from a walk and said, “well, I wish I hadn’t done THAT!'” Of course the answer is NEVER. And for me? Daily yoga is the same.
Hello! Amazing video! I’ve got a question or maybe a problem, I don’t know yet: I’m very flexible, more than ‘average’
especially on my backand tend to achieve very easily some asanas but the thing is: how do I know if I’m doing them right, with the right posture, and not over stretching them? Thank you for your time and sorry if my English is wrong, it’s not my mother languageI’m sitting here, laughing at myself, because I’ve made all these mistakes at some point in my practice. Some, I do until today:D
