One of the things I hear surprisingly often when I tell someone I teach yoga is: “Oh, I couldn’t do yoga. I’m not flexible enough.” Which always makes me smile, because that’s rather like saying you’re too unfit to start exercising. You don’t have to arrive at yoga flexible, strong, calm or knowing what you’re doing. That’s what the practice is there for. Yoga is about more than flexibility; a well-rounded yoga practice combines mobility, strength, balance and flexibility.
