Are You Making Excuses for Not Trying Yoga?
People procrastinate all kinds of things, mostly to their detriment, but if you haven't tried yoga for all the wrong reasons, you may be doing yourself a serious disservice. Yoga can help you with stress, weight loss, chronic pain and self-esteem. If you haven't tried it, maybe it's time to rethink your reasoning. Do any of the following excuses sound familiar?

You have far too many things to gain with yoga and nothing to lose, except maybe a few pounds, a lot of stress and a boatload of Earthly baggage. Give it a try for a week or so and take it from there. More than likely, you'll find in yoga a new way of living and of solving persistent problems and you'll never look
