2025/08/13 Report

Practicing yoga can bring incredible benefits for the body and mind, but doing poses incorrectly may lead to injury or reduce effectiveness. Many beginners—and even experienced yogis—often repeat the same mistakes without noticing. Today, let’s go through the Top 7 yoga poses that are most often done wrong and learn the right way to practice them safely.

1. Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Common Mistake: Rounding the back, collapsing the shoulders, or lifting the wrists off the mat.
Fix: Keep the spine long and straight, push the hips upward, spread the fingers wide, and ground the palms evenly on the mat.

2. Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)

Common Mistake: Front knee collapsing inward or going beyond the ankle.
Fix: Align the knee with the toes, keep it directly above the ankle, and distribute the body’s weight evenly through both legs.
