Do I Need to be Flexible to do Yoga?

Being too stiff to do Yoga is like being too dirty to take a shower.

Each individual comes to yoga with varying levels of strength and mobility. Flexibility is a gift, yet so too is strength and stability. Through the practice of yoga we work to bring a balance between out flexibility and our strength so that we may experience the essence of what it is to be in the posture with a balance between effort and joy.
