Yoga Without the Jargon
Chakras, chanting, Sanskrit, namaste — what teachers mean and what you can ignore.
Plenty of people bounce off yoga because of the language around it. This course translates the vocabulary honestly: what has a clear physical meaning, what is a tradition worth understanding, and what is simply studio habit.
No belief required. You will just stop feeling like the only person in the room who does not get it.
