Theme commentary

A growth mindset is a mental framework that embraces the belief that your abilities and intelligence can continue to be developed over time throughout your life. Coined by psychologist Carol Dweck, it contrasts with a fixed mindset, where individuals view their capabilities as static and unchangeable. Yoga fosters a growth mindset by encouraging a focus on progress rather than perfection. We will reach, stretch, and expand in new directions, focusing on progress rather than on perfection. Growth occurs through exploring the unfamiliar.

Mantras

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow.
