Let’s see if you recognize this pattern: your friends are attempting crow pose for the first time, and they face-plant straight away. You see the frustration in their eyes, so you jump in, reassuring them it’s totally normal, it takes time, but they’ll get there! You offer a...
Ah, the classic yoga moment: you’re holding Warrior II, those 30 seconds somehow stretching into what feels like 30 minutes, when the teacher drops the question: “Can you go deeper?”
At first, you think, "Sure!" and sink lower into the pose, only to feel discomfort. Is that what...
