Remember wherever you are is the perfect place to start! There is a common misconception that Yoga is only for flexible people. I find it rather amusing cause it’s done to become flexible, strong, balanced and mobile. What does flexibility actually mean? It’s not about touching your toes or wrapping your head around the back of your leg. It’s developing the range of motion and mentally opening yourself to new ideas and perspectives. As my guru says, there will always an opportunity to grow and deepen the practice either in forward bends, backward bends, twists, inversions or side stretches. The aim is to get stillness in the moment and shanti in the mind, so chasing an asana or jumping into a flexibility drill when the body is not prepared yet for it, is going injure more than serve goodness. I’m working on my hamstrings after years of running and still there is a lot of a scope to improve! Im setting my mind to move without expectations and competition.
