Three things I wish someone had told me before starting Yoga

After 16 months of Yoga I want to share what I wished I'd known at the start.

First: pretentious studio culture — it hits earlier and harder than the internet suggests. Budget for it practically and mentally. Second: the comfortable breathable clothing you buy first will probably be wrong — ask your coach before spending money. Third: drishti gaze point is the foundation everything else builds on, but it looks boring from the outside. Resist the temptation to rush toward advanced pranayama breathwork before the fundamentals are solid.

how breathwork calms the nervous system is the reward for getting through all of that. It's worth it.
