🧘♀️ International Yoga Day: Stretched Too Thin
Brought to you by ItHurts.com: because being tired isn’t a lifestyle.
Let’s be honest: Yoga sounds peaceful—until you attempt it with a spine that cracks louder than your neighbor’s leaf blower.
It’s International Yoga Day, and here you are, trying to “breathe through the tension” while your hamstrings scream louder than your group chat.
💥 When Yoga Feels More ‘Ow’ Than ‘Om’
You light a candle, unroll your dusty yoga mat (the one doubling as your dog’s nap pad), and hit play on a “15-Minute Morning Flow.”
Two minutes in?
Your wrists are calling their union rep.
Your knees are throwing side-eye in Warrior II.
Your back sounds like you’re stepping on bubble wrap.
Even your cat is concerned.
🧘♂️ Yoga Survival Guide (For the Rest of Us)
Wrist pain in plank? Use yoga wedges or go forearms-only. No shame.
Creaky knees? Double up the mat or use a folded beach towel (bonus: smells like last summer).
Back saying “nope” in Cobra? Chill in Sphinx—cobra’s cool cousin who respects boundaries.
Neck pain in Shoulder Stand? Don’t. Just don’t.
🤔 Reminder: Instagram Isn’t Real Life
The internet will have you thinking everyone’s nailing one-legged King Pigeon while holding a latte.
Reality: You’re just trying not to pull something opening your water bottle.
You’re doing fine.
🛠️ Need a Little Help from the Non-Spiritual Realm?
Get yoga gear and pain-relief tools that actually work.
Because “power through the pain” is not a wellness plan.
Stretch gently. Breathe deeply. Laugh at the chaos.
And if today’s yoga practice ends in corpse pose… for 3 hours… we support that.
Happy International Yoga Day from all of us at ItHurts.com 💚
