The power of this practice lies in the vinyasa - breathe with movement
There are many asanas, we don't need to do all of them.
Surya namaskar, standing postures or half primary is good for most people
Regular practice is key, a habit just like brushing teeth or taking a shower
Advanced postures doesn't mean an advanced yogi
A good yoga student is one who is following Yamas and Niyamas

The modern yoga industry has shifted away from teaching a practice that once ecnouraged and even required ongoing learning, self-reflection, and personal growth. Instead, the commercial interests have been prioritized over genuine education. This shift has left both students and teachers navigating a system that often exploits their desire to learn and grow. Nowhere is this tension more evident than in the yoga teacher training system, which, while serving as a lifeline for the industry, has become deeply flawed.
