About Me

Who I am

Hi, I’m Ava Remi, the voice behind My Yoga Harmony. I write the guides I wish every beginner had: slow, specific, and honest about what hurts.

Most people who decide yoga “isn’t for them” were rushed into a flow before anyone showed them where their feet go in Mountain Pose. These guides start there instead, and they would rather you do three poses well than fifteen badly.

How the guides work

Slowly. Every pose guide breaks the pose into numbered steps you can follow on your own mat, one clear cue at a time, with an at-a-glance box for how long to hold it and what it pairs with.

They also say what hurts. A pose that is wrong for your knees today is wrong for your knees today, and no amount of breathing through it changes that. Every guide has a list of reasons to skip or modify the pose, and you should use it rather than push.

What you’ll find here

Five foundation poses, written as step-by-step guides with the cues that make each pose click. Ways to keep a meditation habit going when the week gets loud. And plain-spoken notes on the everyday side of health: sleep, food, movement, and the small habits that hold them together.

None of it is medical advice, and every health guide says so. If you are working with an injury or a condition, take these pages to the person treating you and ask what applies.

If you have a question about anything here, I read every message.
