When we first rolled out our mats, we had no idea what we were getting into. From awkward fumbles to unexpected breakthroughs, Natalie and Adrienne spill the top 10 things we wish someone had told us when we started Yoga.

We’re talking about the myths we believed, the pressure we put on ourselves, and the surprising lessons that unfolded—like how blocks are actually your best friend, why your breath is more important than your backbend, and how touching your toes is not the goal (but falling in forward fold could happen! ).

Whether you’re new to Yoga or a seasoned teacher, you’ll laugh, nod, and maybe cringe along with us. Because Yoga isn’t just about poses—it’s about progress, presence, and learning to be okay with farting in class.

Unroll your mat, hit play, and let’s get real.

In today's episode of How Yoga Changed My Life, Adrienne reflects on her  conversation with Texas State House of Representative Erin Gámez—an inspiring leader who shared how her yoga practice helps her stay grounded while carrying the weight of public service. 

Erin said, “When I practice yoga, I can give a different energy to the world.”

That wisdom sparked this guided meditation—a reset for your energy and intention.

I can show up as myself”, she shares.

In today's episode, Mia and Adrienne sat down with Scott Herman. Scott is the author of "Yoga Flow Through the Alphabet".

Here's an excerpt from Scott's website https://www.spiritherman.com/

"At age 19, Scott "Spirit" Herman, the author, faced an unimaginable tragedy - a devastating burn injury during his service in the Navy that changed the course of his life. From the physical pain to the emotional scars, he grappled with the darkness of addiction, lost friendships, and countless setbacks.
​
But in the depths of despair, he found an unexpected path to healing: yoga. This journey wasn’t easy - it was filled with struggle and soul-searching, but through each breath, he discovered a renewed sense of self-worth, determination, and strength.
 
Yoga Flow Through The Alphabet captures this powerful transformation, letter by letter, pose by pose, as he shares the tools and wisdom that helped him find peace, purpose, and ultimately, love."

In today's episode, author Scott Herman, reads from his new book, Yoga Flow Through the Alphabet: A Journey of Healing & Self Discovery.

Scott explores what it means to arrive fully in the moment, accept what's here without resistance, acknowledge the truths we usually keep quiet, and sit with anxiety as a wise (and uncomfortable) teacher. It's a gentle invitation to be with yourself just as you are - no fixing, forcing just mindful presence.
