Ran a few hundred people through yoga programs over the years. The pattern that kills adherence isn't laziness — it's programming.

Most yoga content online is either:

• 60-minute restorative flows that feel great once and get skipped forever, or

• Random Instagram poses with zero progression, so you never feel like you're improving.

What actually works is treating yoga like a bootcamp, not a vibe. Structure matters:

• Daily 20-30 min sessions, not sporadic hour-long ones. Consistency beats intensity for building the habit.

• Progressive overload applies to flexibility too. If week 1 and week 4 look identical, you're not training, you're just moving.

• Pair strength with mobility. Pure stretching without stabilizing strength just leads to loose, unstable joints. Power vinyasa + mobility drills together is what actually changes how your body feels day to day.

• Community accountability changes everything. People who check in with a group finish programs at a way higher rate than solo self-guided folks.

That's the exact model I built IronLotus around — 30 days, structured daily flows, real coaching, a group that keeps you honest. If you've bounced off yoga apps before because they felt aimless, this is built to fix that specific problem.

Happy to answer questions on programming or where to start if anyone's stuck.
