Why Yoga is For Every Body

One of the things I hear most often is:

“I’m not flexible enough for yoga.”

My answer is always the same.

You don’t become flexible before coming to yoga.

You come to yoga exactly as you are.

Every body is different.

Every person arrives with a unique story, different abilities, different experiences and different reasons for stepping onto the mat.

There is no perfect pose.

There is no ideal body.

There is only your body, today.

Yoga isn’t about touching your toes.

It’s about becoming more connected to yourself.

Some days you’ll feel strong.

Some days you’ll feel tired.

Some days your balance will surprise you.

Other days you’ll simply enjoy lying in relaxation at the end of class.

All of it is yoga.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re “the right kind of person” for yoga, I’d love to reassure you.

There isn’t a right kind.

There is only you.

And that’s more than enough.
