People won't agree with me, and that's okay

I know not everyone will agree with me, but I DON'T like the term MODIFICATION in yoga.

Here's why:

1. It suggests that there is only one way to do a pose.

2. It creates a hierarchy of poses.

3. It removes the power of agency in our practice.

I prefer the term CUSTOMIZATION, because I believe that body autonomy exists on the mat too. Like this tutorial I made on how I customize Warrior I.

Customizing a pose to meet our needs in the moment is the most empowering and nurturing thing we can do for our body.

So customize, customize, customize.

Remember: YOUR BODY, YOUR CHOICE.

Is there a yoga pose you're in interested in customizing? Let me know in the comments below.
