10 signs you are a modern yogi

 What is a modern yogi? It's all of you who have been asking more questions, moving outside of the box (and the yoga mat) and expanding the lens of what a yoga practice looks like in our modern world.

Modern Yoga

We are in interesting times right now in the yoga world. There are a lot of shifts and changes going on as people are starting to question some of the ways that yoga has been portrayed in the mainstream. With yoga injuries on the rise, more people are evolving what a yoga asana practice looks like. 

But, I know many of you feel like you are the odd one out in your yoga community, or feel like you are the only one who is asking questions! The good news is that there is a growing community of people around the world who are expanding the lens of yoga and 'modern yogi' seems like a good name for this new movement.

If you can relate to this list, share this post on Facebook or Instagram to spread the modern yogi love!
