#3 - Bad at Yoga? No Such Thing

But there sure is a lot of confusion about that fact.
  • "I'm bad at yoga" starter pack: wobbly headstands and occasional asshole behavior

  • Yoga isn't measured by party tricks or permanent zen mode

  • Former fancy pose teacher looked graceful but felt like garbage inside

  • Gymnastics + rule-following = three injury cycles of pure stupidity

  • Terror realization: "Who wants classes from a broken pretzel?"

  • Plot twist: more students came when the circus act ended

  • Uber drivers as accidental philosophy students via traffic rage therapy

  • Nine out of ten had yoga completely backwards

  • Chair yoga can still suck if you're obsessing over shapes

  • The hypermobile self-selection club running the show

  • Mixed messaging epidemic: "Don't worry about toes" while toe-obsessing

  • Arjuna's epic meltdown: "Mind-restraining harder than wind-restraining!"

  • Krishna's chill response: no failing, just forgetting and remembering

  • You're practicing or forgetting, never good or bad at ancient philosophy
