We all fall in to a rut where yoga is the LAST thing we feel like doing. This is the kind of class that will remind you why you fell in love with the practice and makes a strong case for getting back to your mat.. For more classes, head to badyogiofficial.com
Yoga for when you don’t want to do yoga is exactly that. I get it, I have been there countless times, finding myself procrastinating with a million other problems that suddenly need to be taken care of right now… but, the kitchen sink really needs a good scrub before I sit down for my practice…. This is for you, future me, and all of you who are curious enough to press play on this video… when you just don’t want to do your practice.. Here is your invitation, the time has come;. don’t forget, as night falls, even as we dream to sleep… this you that is reading will no longer exist; you, my dearest, I’m so sorry to say: are going to die.. Don’t worry, some essence of you seems to wake again tomorrow…. Cherish this moment while it is here, because the moment you look up, it will already have passed by…. I’ve been spending time studying the Bardo, the space in between, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and felt inspired to share this simple but challenging movement class with all of you after coming to a place where I really just didn’t want to come to my mat… I realized I was ready to let go of self-sabotage, and instead find ways to cultivate self-compassion. We can’t destroy the self, but we can learn to embrace ourselves and all of those around us. To the degree we find compassion for ourselves, to that degree we have compassion for others.. I hope you enjoy the journey.. Until the next,. Adventure well,. Stephen.

Video Transcript! Hey, I’m Brett Larkin for Wanderlust’s Yoga Excuses We All Need to Stop Saying. And in this video, I’m going to dispel the myth that you need to be flexible in order to do yoga because it’s just not true.. If we look at the definition of the word yoga, it’s often translated as “union” or “balance”. And what’s so awesome about yoga is that it requires an equal balance of flexibility and strength. People get caught up in the flexibility that yoga requires, but they often overlook how much strength it requires, too. Poses like handstand or crow or side crow or pretty much any inversion require tremendous amount of strength.. . If you’re someone who pulls out the phrase “I’m too stiff to do yoga”, just keep in mind that more flexible people need to work on strength and you may be quite strong, but you just need to work on flexibility. The goal is balance and we’re all striving to meet in the middle. If you or someone you know considers yourself stiff, I challenge you to check out my beginner playlist on YouTube full of free videos for those new to yoga that don’t require that you have any flexibility whatsoever.. Make sure to like this video if you enjoyed it, share it with a friend, and leave a comment below that I dispelled your myth about having to be flexible to do yoga or you’re still suspicious. Let me know in the comments, yes or no. I want to hear it from you. I hope to see you on the mat in a class with me on YouTube real soon.. From my heart to yours, Namaste.

You Don’t Have to Be Gumby to Do Yoga. by Wanderlust. April 21, 2015. 2 Comments. Share it: Here’s a big problem with yoga: so many people think it’s all about doing the splits or twisting yourself into Gumby-like pretzels. A lot of what’s posted on social media (um, Instagram) support this intimidating misconception.
In the short video. Over time, yoga can help you become more flexible—that’s why we call it practice—but you don’t have to be Gumby-like to start. Flexibility is a result of yoga, not a prerequisite.” 2 Yoga Is for the Thin, Young, and Beautiful. If you’ve been thinking about starting a yoga practice but feel too intimidated, don’t be: Yoga is for everyone. Big or small, young or old, flexible or not, you can do yoga and you can do it.
Gumby and yoga instructors have this in common. Thank you for visiting our website. Below you will be able to find all Gumby and yoga instructors have this in common. This is an excellent riddle which is tricky at the same time. Lots of people have landed on our website looking for the answer of this riddle.
Poor Gumby is “Tired, damnit!” and needs some deep relaxation. He finds relief with a Thai Yoga Massage from Mary Elizabeth Sheehan and friends in Fort Worth, TX. Learn more about Thai Yoga.
You do not have to be naturally flexible to practice yoga, nor do you need to be able to touch your toes. I know plenty of yogis who’ve been practicing for years who still have to bend their knees to touch their toes. Bring yourself to the practice, and the practice will come to you.
That is, just show up. Don’t take any of this to mean that yoga is “easy.” Sure, it can be sleepy and new-agey, but it can also give you a challenge that you totally didn’t see coming. But even when it’s intense, a well-run yoga class is somehow gentle on the body. This is a great way for you to live a longer active life. Don’t fear it.
It’s not weird, exotic, or. That’s a lot easier to do when you literally have nothing with you. Naked yoga isn’t just about being naked — it’s about accepting your body and being confident in your own skin. 4. I’m now trying to find out about all the latest naked yoga poses, asanas, breathing techniques, classes, everything really, but not any yoga outfits!
I mean, you just don’t need one!If you don’t have a yoga mat handy, or simply want to buck tradition, you do have a few options. A mat is usually best, but not having one doesn’t mean you can’t practice.
The type of yoga you’re planning to perform will dictate the alternative mat you choose.
List of related literature:
You don’t need to be some superflexible version of Gumby in order to do power yoga.
I’ve turned to Zeena Dhalla over the years as someone who can teach me about my core, and how to keep the correct muscles in shape to stay injury-free.
I’ve been doing this for a month already and I cant stop using this app. its less talking compare to other yoga apps and videos. you can concentrate and relax more plus the sound track is cool!
Hi Erin! I have never commented (I don’t think), but I have been following you and practicing yoga with you everyday for probably two years. My husband even knows your nameand probably credits you for a LOT of my sanity as I work through a Ph.D. and our second cross country move. I WAS in the mood to do yoga this morning, and this flow was literally exactly what I needed for my sore hips and back going on day four of painting our new house. Thanks for all you do!!
Why is she wearing clothes? Give her back the leaves they were running around in.cultural apropriation!! Disgusting. Who is paying copy right fees to those who dressed them.
By her definition, she shouldn’t be practicing yoga. She’s black American, not South Asian. Also she’s obese. Actual yogis are thin vegetarians who don’t devour an elephant for lunch.
I will be glad to stop appropriating all lesser culturesIf they will stop using the products of our culture IE: Internal combustion engines and all they operate, Electric Motors and all they operate, Electricity and all that is operated by that, Including all Tech systemsModern medicine and all it’s benefits, Modern personal hygiene products (although she does not look like she uses them) ETC ETC ETC>>> FUCK THEM
Ironic how the right whinges and whines about being censored, when they censor and chastise their own for daring to not stay 100% on message (the firing of Faith Goldy). Bunch of crybaby hypocrites. I’m loving it.
This thing is fuckin dying, look at her, mind and body. What a freak. The left is fascinatingly insane, how does yoga even remotely relate to race? Just gotta bring that into it to be a victim i guess
So a black woman who teaches yoga is telling people it’s not okay to culturally appropriate south Asian culture by practicing yoga if you aren’t south Asian?
Boy, it’s disappointing how many subscribers you’re losing. The Rebel started out so well. How many fantastic reporters can you fire before you lose all your viewers?
I know this video is a few years old, but i just stumbled across it. After trying to get through 2 or 3 of my usual yoga videos, i just wasn’t feeling it, and jokingly typed in “yoga for when you don’t feel like doing yoga”. I had to laugh when your video popped up! It was perfect and i got through it and am so glad I found you! Even if i am a few years late! ��������
Ughh, this is Human history, pretty much every law we have, every thing we have done, was due to a few idiots, whether they were violent thugs, or just plain stupid people. It’s time we stop letting the stupid people have their way.
I’m Indian, I don’t do Yoga, I don’t give a shit who does what kind of Yoga.. Why is this Black woman more worried about Yoga than us Indians? Cultural Appropriation is one of those Phony words that shouldn’t exist. Americans sure are funny.. Lol
Progressiveness is a dangerous cult. When they say that you are evil and racist, they MEAN IT. It’s not just words. They believe fully that you are pure evil. So connect the dots. what do you do with some one who is pure evil? You destroy them. We see this judgment being exercised on statues today. We also see mobs trying to attack/protesting Conservative speakers. So they’ve already started attacking people to a small degree. It’s only a mater of time until they will start to justify lyinch mobs. And it will come to that if they continue to get a free pass by the Media.
Beer is for Germans only. Vodka is for Russians only. Tacos are for Mexicans only. Pajamas are for Indians only. Green tea is only for Asian Countries only. Trader Joe’s everyone should boycott.cappuccino/latte is for Italians only (there goes Starbucks). BMW/Mercedes are for Germans only. Sushi is for Japanese only. BBQ ribs are for African Americans only. Poke is for Hawaiians only. People are going to get really bored if they have to stick to their own heritage.
Erin, you should make a class for people who have been traveling for an extended period of time, especially those of us who have been traveling in a car for several hours/days. Something like that would have been helpful during my two trips back and forth from South Carolina to Connecticut the past few weeks. Thanks for all of your stellar classes! I’ve been following you since I discovered the 30 day yoga challenge a few years ago. I’m looking forward to starting the Perfect Body Yoga Program next week after my husband and I get settled into our new “home” in Connecticut.:)
Yoga was created by white people. Yoga, the Vedas, Sanskrit and Brahmin culture was created by white people with red hair and blue eyes who carved swastikas everywhere they went. They are called Aryans. and btw, who the hell doesn’t know this???
I don’t even understand what most of liberals and lefties talk about, such a bullshit that is. Simply ignore their made up shit, seriously it is easier to understand muslims than this fucks.
I was going to comment on the dove/pidgeon! they are one of my boyfriends favourite birdcalls:D really didnt feel like yoga today, have a lurking headache but this was so nice i might even do more 😉
I have to laugh because teachers of martial arts have always come to the west to make a bit of money teaching what they love. Gracie family is a prime example. GASP did the Gracie’s appropriate Japanese culture and then profit from it?
Ok so every time a little black or asian kid dresses up like a knight or Viking for Halloween I’m going to kick him in the nuts and scream CULTURAL APPROPRIATION in his face as he is writhing.

Thank you for this inspiring class. Just the reminders and practice I needed after a very full day. Grateful for you and these classes.
So its Okay for all those football players or basketball who are not white these are white culture sports. I mean American Football.
Why am I still getting the Rebel recommended? Since Faith was fired for no good reason I unsubscribed. I’m done with you PC pricks.
Okay, Yoga maybe a South Asian thing…but the practice is open to all who want specific benefits from Yoga.
If it’s giving you the benefits, do it.
Yoga was created by white people. Yoga, the Vedas, Sanskrit and Brahmin culture was created by white people with red hair and blue eyes who carved swastikas everywhere they went. They are called Aryans. and btw, who the hell doesn’t know this???
I don’t even understand what most of liberals and lefties talk about, such a bullshit that is. Simply ignore their made up shit, seriously it is easier to understand muslims than this fucks.
if you are wearing eastern fashion, straight hair, using American inventions like cars and computers…please stop it now! I’m offended.
I was going to comment on the dove/pidgeon! they are one of my boyfriends favourite birdcalls:D really didnt feel like yoga today, have a lurking headache but this was so nice i might even do more 😉
Black woman, in white clothes, speaking English, practising Indian exercises tell us how awful it is for other people to do exactly what she is doing.
