Vent: Dismissing sun salutations led to my most embarrassing yoga moment
I always brushed off sun salutations as too repetitive and basic for my practice. During a fast-paced vinyasa class, I zoned out mid-flow, mistimed a jump, and ended up karate-chopping the wall with a loud thud. Everyone froze, and the teacher had to pause the music to check if I was okay, which was mortifying. Now I see each sequence as essential groundwork, because rushing through anything in yoga is a recipe for slapstick. Honestly, that wall probably still has a dent from my misplaced enthusiasm.
