One of the most common myths I hear is:

“I’m not flexible, so I can’t do yoga or meditation.”

But yoga was never meant to be a competition in flexibility.

Hatha Yoga works with the body, and postures have an important purpose: keeping the body healthy, balanced, and prepared for deeper practices.

But you don't need to master complicated postures.

A few simple movements, practiced with awareness, can be enough to prepare the body and turn your attention inward.

Because ultimately, yoga and meditation are about going beyond the physical body and connecting with your deeper self.

Your flexibility does not determine your ability to practice yoga.

Start where you are. Work with the body you have. And let the practice take you inward.
