Your practice is on and off? Dependent on group classes? Scared of injuries or concentrated on results? Do you question the instructions or blindly follow them? The author has experienced all these issues typical for beginners in yoga. She took a Teacher Training Course as a newbie, got injured, had to admit the responsibility for fixing herself, didn’t lose interest and motivation to continue her path. Olga’s story, tips, tricks, pieces of advice from enlightened Masters she met on her way cannot help but inspire us to change our attitude to yoga practice and to embrace the beauty of simple asanas performed with maximum concentration.
