Yoga pose mistakes you might be making and how to fix them 🧘‍♀️ After teaching yogis of all levels for over a decade, the most common thing I see in class is students dumping into their flexibility and just kinda hanging out in their poses. While your practice should feel good, there's a big difference between sinking into your body and USING your body to create stability and strength. Here are the 5 most common yoga pose mistakes I see and how you can fix them! 🔹 Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): Instead of leaning forward, stack your torso over your pelvis to build stability and fire up your legs. 🔹 Extended Side Angle (Utthita Parsvakonasana): No more nose-diving! Use a block or rest your elbow on your knee. Focus on opening your chest and reaching your top arm UP. 🔹Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana): Open your chest to the side, and keep your lifted leg active and in line with your top hip. 🔹 Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): There are many ways to practice this pose, but traditionally (and ideally), we want to ditch the backbend. Push the ground away, spread your shoulder blades wide, and send your chest forward. 🔹 Humble Warrior (Baddha Virabhadrasana): Don’t let that front hip swing out to the side! Hug it IN and BACK as you fold forward. Want more bite-sized yoga tips to help you practice with confidence? Follow @yogiflightschool and share this post with a yoga-loving friend!
