One Size Fits All vs. Custom Made: How Personalized Yoga Coaching Transforms Arm Balances and Inversions

What's the difference between “one size fits all” and “custom made”?

You may be wondering what this has to do with yoga or your ability to arm balance and invert. I'm not looking to change my career and dive into to the fashion industry, but bear with me for a second.

The Power of Personalization in Yoga

Think about the difference between a boxy t-shirt and a tailored shirt. Both cover your upper body, but a custom-made shirt fits perfectly to your form. If you ask me, it's amazing to have BOTH available and be able to choose which works best for you in a given situation.

This idea of “general” versus “custom made” isn't just limited to clothing or “items.” Similarly, a “one size fits all” approach in yoga provides general instructions, while personalized coaching gives you exactly what you need to progress.

When it comes to yoga, everyone’s body follows the same basic mechanics: muscles and tissues move bones based on brain inputs. However, the mind-body connection varies for everyone.

We all move differently, respond to cues uniquely, and need distinct inputs to find the same pose. And beyond that, we each have different fears, goals, strengths and limitations.

Just like a “one size fits all” shirt serves a purpose...

General yoga instructions are essential for building strong foundations.

They teach you the basics of how to engage your muscles, align your body, and create balance. But these instructions, while valuable, can only take you so far.

That’s where personalized coaching comes in.

Having someone guide you based on your unique body and its needs is like having a tailor customize your shirt.

The smallest adjustments—like the way you engage your core or position your hands—can lead to breakthrough moments in your practice.

Personalized coaching goes beyond standard cues. It’s not just about achieving the pose; it’s about unlocking your unique potential with specific instructions for your body. Further, whether you're dealing with fear, perceived strength limitations, or mental blocks, personalized coaching can be the difference between “I can’t” and “I just held my arm balance for 3 breaths!”

It's an incredibly empowering experience, helping you in get into the right mindset, stay consistent with your practice and achieve the results you want.
