I'm not flexible at all, or at least I wasn't until I started doing yoga on a regular basis. I always struggled to touch my toes and stretch out. I was probably the most inflexible ballet dancer out of my entire class as a kid. My mom had signed me up for ballet because I was klutzy and tight; now she comments that she should have signed me up for yoga instead, as it's markedly improved my flexibility, posture, and balance, even as an adult.
I still have a hard time doing remarkably flexible things, but I can touch my toes now, and that is accomplishment enough.
