Ep 254 Adam Keen – Debunking Common Yoga Myths

Adam explores common myths surrounding yoga practice, particularly in Ashtanga. He discusses the significance of moon days, the myths of leg positioning, menstruation and inversions, and the misconception of step-by-step progression in yoga. Keen emphasizes the importance of personal experience over traditional beliefs and encourages practitioners to question the validity of these myths. He concludes by highlighting the dual nature of myths in motivating practice while also recognizing their potential to mislead.

Adam Shares

· Moon days are not essential for practice.

· Leg positioning in Ashtanga lacks scientific backing.

· Menstruation does not prohibit inversions in yoga.

· The Ashtanga sequence does not guarantee step-by-step body opening.

· Primary series is not strictly therapeutic as claimed.

· Vinyasa is not a sacred principle but can be useful.

· Mula Bandha's relevance in modern yoga is questionable.

· Yoga does not purify organs as often claimed.

· Catching in micelle is not beneficial and can cause injury.

· Practicing more than once a day can be beneficial if done sensibly.
