Can I do yoga if I'm not flexible?

The only flexibility required to begin a yoga practice is a flexible, open mind. Most people aren't naturally flexible, so doing yoga can increase your flexibility almost immediately. Even after just a few classes, you will begin to notice a change in your body. Yoga is a “come as you are” affair - it has wonderful benefits for, disabled people, elderly yoga people, and inflexible people.  It can also help you gain strength, coordination, increased concentration, physical confidence, and enhanced cardiovascular health. If you can commit to a couple of classes every week, I guarantee that your muscles will become longer and suppler and the increased flexibility you'll feel can alleviate chronic pain and prevent injury. So go ahead and give us a call and we will be able to set up a personalized program for you. Just remember like any new thing you try, whether it be playing an instrument or learning to dance. No one is instantly great in the beginning, but as you practice, you'll get better and better.
