Gwen shares personal stories from her own practice, from doing Yin Yoga while watching Netflix to stopping a practice after 10 minutes because it was simply enough that day, & reflects on how real life practices often look very different from the polished version we see online. Highlights include: Why the idea of the "perfect practice" can quietly stop us from showing up. How shorter, imperfect, or distracted practices can still support your body & nervous system. The pressure around the 60-minute yoga session & where that expectation may come from. Why many yoga teachers still use guided classes & platforms for their own practice. Exploring how flexibility inside your yoga practice can create more adaptability in daily life. Learning to remove barriers around practice instead of adding more conditions to it.
