Busting Common Yoga Myths
At Ataraxis Yoga, we believe yoga is for every body—and we’re here to clear up a few common misconceptions:
Myth #1: You need to be flexible to do yoga.
Truth #1: Not true! Yoga meets you exactly where you are. With consistent practice, flexibility comes naturally—so no need to wait until you can touch your toes to start.
Myth #2: Yoga has to be a power workout to be valuable.
Truth #2: While some classes focus on strength and speed, slow and mindful yoga is equally powerful. Moving with intention, connecting breath to body, and finding stillness within can create profound peace and self-connection.
Myth #3: Yoga requires expensive props.
Truth #3: Nope. You don’t need fancy gear—just yourself and a little willingness to try. A mat and an open mind go a long way.
Myth #4: People will judge me in class.
Truth #4: Not here. Our community is supportive and welcoming, and your instructor is the one being watched—not you. Everyone comes with a shared goal: to grow, to heal, and to feel better in their own skin.
Myth #5: Yoga is only for young, thin, flexible people.
Truth #5: Absolutely not. Yoga is for every body and every age. You belong here, exactly as you are.
