When I talk to people who have never tried Yoga before, I hear a pelthora of reasons why. "I'm not flexible enough," "I'm too fat," "I'm too old," "I'm out of shape." Unfortunately, those are all reasons why they *should* be practicing yoga!
Yoga is for everyone, no matter how old or out of shape. Yoga can transform your life in a multitude of ways! It can boost your immune system, lighten your spirits, build strength, increase flexibility, and help you feel younger. The great thing about Yoga? "Where you are today, is ok." That's something I say frequently during my classes. Some days you'll be able to touch your toes in a forward fold and some days you won't, and that's all right. You're still working, still reaping the benefits of your practice, and eventually, being able to reach your toes in a forward fold will be constant and automatic.
Keep it up and all of your reasons for avoiding Yoga will be the reasons you keep coming back, because you will be improving, every time.
Namaste,
Erin
