    Most yogis (and yoga teachers) think we cannot do yoga poses because of tension in our bodies.

    You've heard this, your hamstrings are tight, lengthen here... or your shoulders are not open, you need to be more open...

    But, what if there was a MUCH more obvious reason why some can't do a yoga pose, but another can? What if this reason is not known by most yoga teachers (even the most famous ones).

    Most yogis (and yoga teachers) think we cannot do yoga poses because of tension in our bodies. But what if there was a MUCH more obvious reason why some can't do a yoga pose, but another can? What if many of us are wasting our time trying to do poses?

    I used to practice yoga with rules of alignment. In fact, this approach is the dominant way to practice postural yoga today; there is a safe and an unsafe way to to do yoga poses, there is a right and a wrong way. There are cues that yoga teachers give students on how to do poses well and there are assists that teachers can give to students to help them.   

    But what if the assumptions of alignment yoga are all wrong? I found out they are: come join me.
