#1 🚫 No pain, no gain? Not true.

#2 🚫 You have to be flexible to start yoga? Nope.

Let's Reframe: That’s like saying you need to be clean to take a shower. Yoga helps build flexibility—physically and mentally. All you need is a willingness to show up.


#3 🚫 Wellness = diet and exercise
Let's Reframe: Wellness is also mental health, boundaries, joy, and connection. Way bigger than that. True wellness includes your mental health, community, environment, and how you feel in your own skin.
