Yoga is supposed to be relaxing, right? Sometimes, it actually lives up to the hype. I once went to a restorative vinyasa class and, no exaggeration, fell asleep on the mat. It was the best nap of my life, wrapped in a blanket of incense and gentle breathing cues. That's the version of yoga the glossy wellness ads sell us: deep breaths, quiet minds, and the occasional stretch that makes you feel like you actually have your life together.

  • But then there’s power yoga. That class is an entirely different beast. You’re usually sweating through your mat, wobbling in warrior three, and wondering how on earth a plank could last four full minutes.

    Instructors will tell you it’s “about the strength practice,” but it feels suspiciously like a bootcamp with more chanting. And the worst part is the unspoken rule that taking a break feels pretty much illegal. You’re paying to be there, your arms are quivering like overcooked spaghetti, and you’re one downward dog away from passing out, but sit down for a second and the teacher will call you out in front of everyone. 

    Yoga can be serene, sure, but sometimes it’s just public humiliation disguised as mindfulness.
