What if I am not flexible?

Then you should probably practice yoga… Most peoples mobility has been compromised due to habitual sitting for school, work, driving, etc… In addition, most exercise programs that people follow do not place an emphasis on flexibility. The goal of yoga is to get out of your head and into your own body. You do not have to be flexible to achieve these goals and to reap the benefits that they offer. Flexibility and stability are side effects of yoga, as is mobility. Yoga literally makes everything else that you may do physically and mentally a little easier.
