🧘‍♀️ Yoga Expectations vs. Reality – A Funny Look at Real-Life Practice

Yoga — the word itself feels so serene, right? You picture a peaceful morning, fresh air, a calm mind, and the perfect downward dog. Instagram is full of gorgeous shots of people gracefully flowing through poses like dancers. But then… reality hits.

If you’ve ever tried yoga in your living room and found yourself tangled like a pretzel or falling flat during “Tree Pose,” you’re not alone. This blog post (and comic!) is a lighthearted look at what we expect yoga to be like versus what it’s actually like when we try it for ourselves.

😅 When Your Body Doesn’t Match the YouTube Video

In the comic above, I captured one of the most relatable yoga moments — trying to mirror a calm, stable pose, and wobbling uncontrollably instead. You watch the instructor float into balance with their eyes closed, while you're blinking in confusion, wondering which leg goes where.

That’s the funny part about self-growth practices like yoga. We think we’ll be perfect at it. But healing isn’t always elegant. It’s messy, human, and awkward — and that’s beautiful in its own way.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Goals vs. Yoga Giggles

I created this comic series because I realized how often we feel “less than” just because our reality doesn’t match the polished version we see online. We give up because we feel silly. But guess what? Everyone feels that way at some point.

Yoga is not about perfection. It’s about presence.

Even if you lose balance, even if your body isn’t flexible today — you showed up. That’s more than enough. And if you laughed at yourself while doing it? That’s healing, too.

💡 What This Comic Really Means

Through this visual humor, I wanted to send a deeper message:

Don’t take your healing too seriously. Laugh through it. Embrace every wobble.

Comics are a gentle way to show the truth: we all struggle, we all fall, and we all get back up. You don’t need a perfect body or perfect breath — you just need to keep trying.

So, if your yoga session today turned into a nap on the mat… that counts too. ☁️
