🔥 You start strong… then lose momentum. Again

🔥 You start strong… then lose momentum. Again. ⬇️

One week, you’re ALL IN on yoga.

You practice every day, feel amazing… and then life happens. You skip a day. Then another. And before you know it, you're back to square one.

Sound familiar?

Here’s why this keeps happening (and how to FIX it) ⬇️

🙈 MISTAKE 1: Overcommitting, then burning out
✅ FIX: Start small and build up!

Excited to practice daily? That’s great, but… start with 1-2 days a week if you're returning after a break.

Already consistent? Add just 1 more short session per week.

10 min or 1 hour—doesn’t matter. Routine is what counts!

🙈 MISTAKE 2: Relying on motivation
✅ FIX: Make a plan & write it down!

Stop scrolling for motivation—it increases your chances of practicing by… 0%.

But writing down when & where you’ll practice? That boosts follow-through by 91%!

Read that again… ZERO vs 91%!

🙈 MISTAKE 3: Getting frustrated with slow progress
✅ FIX: Get support & learn the technique!

There’s no timeline for mastering a new pose.

Learn the technique & progressions from a teacher who breaks it down.

Frequent, short practices will add up to big results.

These small tweaks = big shifts in your practice. Stop restarting—start seeing real progress!

🔥 Try this transition & tag me when you do!

➡️ Wild Thing to Wheel (Camatkarasana to Urdhva Dhanurasana)

If you have a solid wheel, this transition might be easier than it looks!

Give it a try:
✅ Bring both feet flat on the ground
✅ Bend both knees
✅ Shift your weight more into the legs
✅ Press out of your bottom arm to find space
✅ Reach top arm toward the floor
✅ Allow your bottom hand to spin in and eventually flip fingers toward feet

Going back to Wild Thing is trickier (for me!), but you’ll just reverse the steps—except for the bottom hand spin. I move my hand last in both directions!

⬇️ Will you try it? Drop a 🔥 in the comments & let me know!
