Valentine Week at MyYogaTeacher
Hi Everyone,
We’re planning something special for Valentine Week and wanted to share a little preview with you.
We’ll be hosting two gentle, heart-focused sessions:
• A Heart Chakra Yoga Flow
• A Self Love Yoga FlowThese sessions are designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move with a little more awareness and care.
We’ll be sharing the dates and registration links later this week.
In the meantime, we’d love to know -
Which one are you more excited about?(You can just comment Heart Chakra or Self Love)

I don’t think we choose what we like and dislike lol. For example, I don’t like cooking and avoid it whenever possible. Everyone knows that they should exercise for their health, but if they don’t enjoy it, for many that isn’t sufficient motivation. Then there’s another extreme - those for who exercise is almost like a drug. In between, there’s a whole range of people, myself included. Motivation is very complex. Then, you have to do what’s pragmatically possible for you personally. For example, the last 50 years or so, my main hobby apart from talking has been taekwondo, which I can’t do as much due to osteoarthritis in my hip, so now I only teach it two days, and that’s why I started yoga. I find MYT very convenient as I don’t have to travel anywhere to do it.

Angela Broadbent totally agree with finding or doing something you love. But, is there a choice in today’s world to not like exercise? We are all in front of screens all day with little or no movement otherwise which is a recipe for disaster…

Anirudh whatever exercise you are doing, you won’t be consistent if you don’t enjoy it and it won’t be a lifelong activity. It’s all about finding something you love, and when you do, you’ll keep it up. Unfortunately, some people don’t like exercise full stop.

The biggest reason people drop off isn’t lack of motivation.
It’s unrealistic expectations.
Many start yoga expecting quick results.
When progress feels slow, they assume it’s not working.
In reality, the body adapts gradually.
Mobility, pain relief, and stress reduction need repetition over time.The real formula is simple:
small sessions × high consistency = long-term change15 minutes a day, done regularly, will outperform one intense session a week

What has been your biggest challenge in staying consistent so far?Drop your answers in the comments. It will help a lot of beginners beocme more consistent.
