Are you curious about yoga? But not sure if it’s for you?
Perhaps it’s been recommended to you. It might be something you’ve been meaning to try for a while. Or maybe you tried it before but didn’t get on with it.
Do any of these thoughts come up when you consider giving yoga a try?
- “I’m not strong / flexible / fit / young enough”
- “I’m not calm / zen / ‘hippy’ enough”
- “I’d probably do it all wrong anyway”
If this is you – then you’re in the right place!
And I want you to know that:
You don’t need to be strong, flexible, fit, or in a particular age bracket to learn and benefit from yoga. If you can breathe, you can do yoga! The good news is that a regular yoga practice will help you develop your strength, flexibility and general fitness. And whilst I can’t claim that it will make you younger, it might just help you feel younger at heart!
You don’t need to be calm or in any way spiritual to learn and benefit from yoga. All you need to do is show up, and be open to working with your body and your breath. More good news: a regular yoga practice means you’ll develop techniques that will help you improve your mental health and wellbeing.
Yoga isn’t about ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. It’s about connecting with and working patiently with your body and your mind, to develop a yoga practice that’s right for you. Even more good news: I won’t just share yoga poses and techniques with you. I’ll encourage you to work patiently and respectfully with your body, and develop an awareness of what your body needs. And I’ll guide you to take the versions or modifications of poses and techniques that help you access the benefits of the practice.
