🚀 Save this for the next time you think you’re ‘too busy’ for yoga!

If you keep skipping yoga because you're busy, this is for you. You don’t need an hour—just a few minutes can make a difference! Here’s how to make yoga fit into your day:

🧘‍♀️ Keep it short & consistent – Even 5-10 minutes is enough!

🎯 Set small goals – Try balancing for 20 seconds or touching your toes.

⏳ Use small pockets of time – Between meetings, at lunch, or during your commute.

✨ Want an easy way to stay consistent? Inside The FITaspire Studio, you'll find 40+ yoga classes under 30 minutes—so you can move, stretch, and breathe without rearranging your entire day!

💡 Tag a friend who needs this & save it for later!

🔥 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!
