Intimidated by yoga? 3 easy ways to get started

Content

When I meet new yoga students, they often say something like this:

"Are you going to make me to bend into that pretzel shape? Because that is not happening in this body!"

"I have zero flexibility, so I can't do that dog pose or whatever you call it."

Thinking that you need to be flexible is a common misconception about yoga. The truth is, yoga is an ancient practice that encompasses many different elements beyond the poses you may be familiar with. Most yoga practices also focus on your breath, mindset and overall well-being. That makes yoga a practice that can truly benefit anybody — no matter how old you are, what shape you're in or what physical challenges you have.
