And another thing!
Interesting point came up... someone in real life telling me that they weren't sure about doing yoga because they weren't flexible. If that holds you back from doing yoga, consider this:
The benefits of yoga come, not from going to extreme positions, but from working at your own, personal limit. So, when you stretch and breath, letting your body relax into your limit, however humble that limit is, you are getting the same benefits as I am when I wrap myself up like a pretzel.
Being infelxible is actually an advantage when you're doing yoga. It makes you pay attention to the greater lessons of breathing, centering and relaxing as you try to extend your flexibility. It is the breathing, centering and relaxing that will ripple through your whole life.
So - hurray for being inflexible!
