Definition:

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.

I am capable of stepping outside my comfort zone.
