1. It's not possible to do yoga wrong. Yoga is a simple thing really: just move your body, stretch a little in a few different directions and think about deepening your breath while you do that. Five or ten minutes a few days a week is enough to make a difference.

2. Yoga clothes, mats and props are just there to give you something to buy and someone else some money for selling them. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can do yoga on your carpet in your pyjamas. Sometimes its better that way.

3. The only thing to ask yourself when you are finished, is DO I FEEL A BIT BETTER? If the answer is yes, well done, you've just done yoga

4. Only modern yogis focus on yoga postures as we see them on Instagram, for centuries yoga was about sitting quietly, feeling grateful, calming your breath and being aware of yourself and your body in this moment. So if you just feel like sitting quietly, looking at your garden or favourite view and breathing calmly for a few minutes - that's yoga.

5. Are you the kind of person that doubts yourself and your abilities? Perhaps this is why you think you are doing yoga wrong ... because you often think you are missing something or that you're not very good at stuff. This is just mental chit chat. There is only one of you in the whole world and there will never be another: learning how to be you - confidently, calmly, positively you, will stand you in good stead for all of life. So when you hear that little voice telling you this isn't what yoga looks like, thank it kindly for its input, then ignore it and carry on doing your thing.

Make a commitment to yourself to try a little yoga for a few days for a few weeks and see how you feel at the end of it. Hopefully better. You've got this.
