Common Yoga Myths and Wellness Truths Explained
Yoga is not just about flexibility or following trends. Let’s clear the air on what truly works, why specific movements matter, and how to practice safely.
चलिए, let's check our flexibility and mobility. In this video, I guide you through four simple asanas to test your hamstring, shoulder, and hip mobility. Comment below and let me know how you did. If you want to work on these areas, you can join my online sessions.
Are you feeling tired all the time? It could be a deficiency in Vitamin D or B12. In this video, I discuss the common symptoms and share simple ways to improve your levels, such as practicing Surya Namaskar in the sun and including certain foods in your diet.
If you suffer from long-term stomach issues like IBS, IBD, or autoimmune conditions, please get your navel checked. A dislocated navel can be a root cause of many digestive problems. You can visit a well-known Ayurvedic therapist or come to our studio in Defence Colony.
I often see people doing Surya Namaskar, but is it for everyone? In this Q&A, I explain who should avoid Surya Namaskar, such as those with cervical issues, back pain, or sciatica. It is always best to practice under the guidance of a qualified teacher.
Would you take advice for your eyes from a heart doctor? No. Similarly, you should seek advice from experts in their own fields. For yoga exercises, consult a yoga teacher. For Ayurvedic medicine, consult an Ayurvedic doctor. Taking the right advice is crucial for your health.
"I don't know if you like the person, but you will definitely like the words." Diljit Dosanjh shares his regret of not starting yoga earlier, realizing it's not just stretching but a way of life. This is a request to everyone, if you can, please teach your children yoga.

About Yoga & Wellness Explained
Think Surya Namaskar is for everyone? Think again. If you have cervical issues, sciatica, or chronic back pain, standard routines might actually aggravate your condition rather than heal it. Real yoga is not a one-size-fits-all workout. It is a precision tool that needs a qualified eye to ensure alignment, especially when you are recovering from a long-term injury or digestive issue.
More Than Just Poses
Many people land in a studio thinking yoga is just about stretching or 'getting flexible'. In reality, true yoga practice is about alignment and understanding your body's specific limitations. Whether you are dealing with a stiff neck from long desk hours or chronic knee pain, your practice should be a therapeutic roadmap, not a generic sequence of poses.
Why Guidance Matters
Would you ask a heart doctor for eye advice? It is the same with yoga. Practicing without knowing how to modify a pose for your specific health condition can lead to strain. We use props like wall ropes, bolsters, and chairs to support your body, making poses accessible and safe even if you are currently in pain or recovering from an injury. This is the difference between doing exercise and doing therapy.
Getting the Right Answers
We believe in education. If you are confused about how to treat issues like a dislocated navel, IBS, or simple stress, the first step is correct information. We don't believe in 'quick fixes'. We believe in:
- Assessment: Understanding your health history before suggesting a single asana.
- Props: Using equipment to protect joints and ensure proper traction.
- Consistency: Building a routine that fits your lifestyle, whether it is 20 minutes a day or dedicated studio sessions.
Don't let the fear of 'not being flexible' stop you. Flexibility is a result, not a requirement. Your healing journey starts when you stop following generic advice and start listening to what your specific body needs.
