Rethinking Yoga: Alexandria Crow on Alignment, Perfectionism, and Personal Growth

Smart yoga to me...is knowing what's wise for you and only you...
Ever wondered if those yoga alignment cues are really helping you? In this episode of The Asana Academy Podcast, host Brian Aganad sits down with Alexandria Crow, the founder of Yoga Physics, to challenge some common yoga practices and beliefs. Crow brings a refreshing perspective on what it means to practice yoga smartly and safely. She dives into the myths and truths about alignment cues, explaining why they might not always be beneficial for everyone.
If you've ever questioned why your shoulder joints feel strained or why certain poses just don't seem to work for you, Crow's insights will be eye-opening. But it's not just about the physical aspects of yoga. Crow also tackles the mental side, addressing the pitfalls of perfectionism. She argues that striving for the 'perfect' pose can lead to injuries and frustration. Instead, she advocates for embracing discomfort and imperfection as part of the journey.
This episode encourages listeners to tune into their own bodies and personalize their practice. It's about finding what works for you, rather than blindly following instructions. Crow's advice is practical and grounded, making it easy to apply to your own yoga routine. So if you're looking to deepen your understanding of yoga and make your practice more fulfilling, this episode is a must-listen.
