I agree & can totally relate to this. I'm also a yoga instructor & that was one of the biggest fears I heard from my new students was that they weren't "good" at yoga, or they weren't flexible enough. That always broke my heart a little that they felt that way, but who can blame them when society & social media only show people doing handstands. Not a bad thing, like you said, but it only shows one side. Thanks for bringing this topic to light on steemit!
You know hey, I was so afraid that I was the only one who saw it that way, but I now see that it is a common theme.. I try to be as supportive in the classes and keep saying in so many different words that it's the journey, and it's okay to take a slow drive.. infact it's favourable! Take a slow drive.. real slow.. take in the scenery.. feel it. And as much as I see people starting to see it that way, it's hard to keep up with a lifetime of brainwashing. Thank you so much for commenting, I feel like I always say that but I mean it, the fact that there are others out there that feel the same is a great comfort.
