瑜伽經常給人一種優雅而輕盈的印象，瑜伽達人可以隨時隨地做出各種高難度動作，而臉上仍然面不改容。不過上過堂的人就會知道，瑜伽絕對不像看起來一樣輕鬆，而是靠日積月累的努力換來的，外國就有3位插畫家，以可愛滑稽的畫風透過IG道出新手學yoga時的各種辛酸，超有共鳴。
IG圖片初學者雞手鴨腳VS導師輕鬆自信
新手學瑜伽，柔軟度和力量也比較差，例如做前彎的時候，明明已經盡力伸盡手臂，手指和腳趾還是只差一點點；做下狗式時，手臂又未夠耐力，震過貓王的情況經常出現。墨西哥IG插畫家@scarletadriann就將以上新手的苦況描繪出來，面容扭曲、大汗搭細汗的神情與導師形成強烈對比，超幽默的畫風一秒引起瑜伽愛好者共鳴。

Adho Mukha Vrksasana. Headstand on wall (beginners) well I am feeling better and healthier. I did a bit of yoga today and tried this again. And I my arms are stronger. But the pose was hard to stay on. My core wasn't strong enough to stay there more than one breath. My feet kept slipping! 😭 even though I took my socks off. Oh well… Gotta do more yoga and try it another day. Have a wonderful day and namaste! 🙏 🙏 🙏 #scarletadrianne #prismacolor #pentel #brushpen #yoga #sketch #sketchbook #sketches #sketching #drawing #draw #doodle #yogalife #yogalove #yogajourney #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaposes #yogapose #yogaday #yogadrawing #yogi #yoga #yogadiary #yogachallenge #yogalife

Reclining hand to big toe pose. Supta Padangusthasana. It went better than expected, I notice I need to get a strap so it gets easier to do the pose. Well this pose it's great for flexibility in the hips and the legs. Also good for the back and digestion. The back of my legs were a bit stiff but it didn't bother me so much. I hope I can make it better in time. My flexibility is a little better everyday I can notice it. Thank you all for reading me and for supporting my yoga diary! I am so grateful! Namaste. #yoga #yogadiary #yogachallenge #yogalife #yogalove #yogajourney #yogainspiration #yogaposes #yogapose #yogi #yogadrawing #sketch #brushpen #scarletadrianne #sketchbook #sketches #sketching #doodle #drawing #draw #dook #art #instaart #prismacolor #yogini

Heron pose. Krounchasana. I've been doing yoga this past days, so the hero pose wasn't difficult to do. Yayyyy for me! Haha. But once I started lifting my leg to do the variation I stumbled, it felt a bit strange, it didn't hurt. But the main reason is because I have my hamstrings are very stiff (still) I always have that trouble when I need to do poses with my extended legs… :( but this pose helps on that so I need to be patient and do it more until I reach my goal! ❤️ I hope everyone is having a great week! Namaste! What's your favorite pose for hamstring stretch? #sketch #drawing #draw #yogi #yoga #doodle #yogalife #yogalove #yogajourney #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaposes #yogapose #yogaday #adrienelouis #yogachallenge #yogadiary #yogadaily #yogi #scarletadrianne

Samasthiti, prayer pose. Hello! Another day of yoga and I had to draw this pose. It makes me feel at ease and so much calm in my mind and body. I don't know if I am the only one but I like to do this pose many times in the day when I am feeling a little anxious. Thank you everyone for taking your time to write a comment I really appreciate it! And @adrienelouise for her awesome yoga routines. I am on day 7 of the #30daysofyoga #drawing #yoga #sketch #yogisofinstagram #sketching #yogi #prismacolor #pentelbrushpen #draw #pentel #yogalove #yogaposes #yogadrawing #yogainspiration #yogajourney #yogaeverydamnday #yogachallenge #yogadaily #yogadiary #yogaforbeginners #yogalove #adrieneyoga

「來打開你的心靈」？
瑜伽除了是運動，也是一項和靈性有關的活動，所以導師有時也會引導學生去想像不同意象，例如「將心靈打開」、「讓身體融化在地面上」、「讓腳在地上植根」等，但對瑜伽新手來講，維持不同動作已經雞手鴨腳，實在沒力氣消化這些極抽象的畫面。以下這位外國瑜伽導師@indieyogalife正正畫出了新手聽到這些「心靈指導」時，滿腦子都是黑人問號的滑稽模樣。

Shit yoga teachers say vol : ROOTING. “Rooting. Grounding. Earthing. Root down, anchor down, connect down.” . If you’ve practiced yoga for any amount of time you will have no doubt heard the phrasing including ROOTS. 🌱 It could be related to metaphorical “rooting” or it could be related to the ROOT chakra located at the base of the spine and/or feet. . I’m actually a big fan of “rooting” analogies for a few reasons: 1. Roots don’t just connect a plant/tree to the surface of the earth, they connect the plant way BELOW the earth - and this is what we should be thinking about when we are trying to balance/practice. 2. Roots provide stability for the plant/tree, but there is still a little bit of give and movement as roots adjust/grow beneath the soil: roots aren’t locked in a fixed static position and this is how it works with the human foot too. 3. Roots are ALIVE. Roots in a sense “read” their environment beneath the soil and grow around objects like stones & clumps of sand. Similarly the Intrinsic muscles of the foot gather sensory feedback from the ground in order to relay this information back to the body through the nervous system - so that the body can balance/leap/run/stand and adapt to the surface it is on. . I’m busy reading “Born to Run” (now that I’m a runner and all 😂👌🏼), and there is so much wild information on how important it is for us to build and develop STRONG feet (ie: NO SHOES ❌ 👟 ), so that the body can appropriately take load through the system on a variety of surfaces and in a variety of movements. And as always, I’m amazed at how Yoga… which has always been practiced barefoot, just seems ONCE AGAIN, to really have it ALL. 🦶 😍🧘🏿♀️ . There is a whole series of yoga flows, meditations, chakra work, soul work, art journal prompts and tutorials on ROOTING in the @movebreathecreate platform if you need a bit of GROUNDING in your life! . #yogateacher #yogafeature #bestyoga #rooting #yogacartoon #yogaart #yogaillustration #doyouyoga #yogateacherproblems #ytt #yogateacherlife #yogachallenge #yogaforbeginners #learnyoga #letsstartyoga #anchor #yogaillustrated @yogafeature @bestyoga @doyouyoga

Shit yoga teachers say: HEART OPENING. . “Open the heart. Connect to your heart. Feel your heart. Expand your heart. Lift up the heart.” . And here we have diagrammed, the exact reason why deep “heart opening” is pretty terrifying for a lot of people. Like. “Heart opening” 💔. WHAT THE ACTUAL….🤯…. AND…. POSSIBLY WE SHOULD SAVE THAT FOR MEDICALLY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS LIKE SAY, CARDIOLOGISTS. 👩🏽⚕️ #openheartsurgery #dontworry #imayogateacherigotthis 😂🙌🏽😂😂😂 #heartopening #heartopener #wouldverymuchlikemyhearttostayclosedandinsidemybodythanks #yogateacherhumour #yogahumor #yogaillustration #yogaillustrated #yogahumour #yogacartoon #backbend #wheelposevariation #wheelpose #yogawheelpose . (BUT JUST KIDDING GUYS OPENING YOUR HEART AND STAYING OPEN-HEARTED IS REALLY IMPORTANT)* . *NB yoga teacher disclaimer.

Shit yoga teachers say: Vol. 2. MELTING. 🔥 “Melt your shoulders down your back, melt into the mat, let resistance melt away.” . How funny would it be if students took teachers “MELTING” instructions literally and suddenly began melting all over the place. Now THAT would be some scary-ass shit to deal with as a teacher, I just gotta say. . “Stop!!! Stop!! NO!!! MOIRA!! STOP MELTING!!” 😂😂😂👌🏼 . #hotyoga #bikramyoga #melting #yogaillustration #yogaart #artyoga #yogateacherhumour #yogahumor #lighthearted #yogafun #yogahumour #melt #yogacartoon #movebreathecreate #yogafunny #yogafun #yogateacher

One more day until Friday 🙏🏼 and then we can have some fun 😉 🎉 has your practice changed much this winter? The more I try to give myself energy and speed things up in this cold, dark weather, the worse the effects tend to be, so now I’m surrendering to the winter 🥶 I give up lol 😅 maybe winter is a time to let go…
