Without these threemagic

kicks, I believe I would still

be running for 6 group

classes a week and hunting

MAIN MISTAKES

The main problem for beginners in yoga is

over-relying on group classes and not

questioning whether what we’re doing actually

benefits our health or ruins it.

Since childhood, we’ve been taught that the

harder we try, the faster we progress, the

longer we practice, the more benefits we get,

the more complicated things we do, the higher

results we achieve. And once we step on the

mat, we apply the same principles to our yoga

practice, not realizing that instead of getting

healthier, we may harm ourselves.
