I’m Not Flexible, Can I Still Do Yoga?
We welcome all types of bodies. Yoga is a physical exercise that will help increase your flexibility over time. You do not need to be flexible when you start yoga, however, over time you will see your range of flexibility increase. Over time, the regular and consistent practice of yoga will instill a balance between both strength and flexibility.
If you are very stiff and tight, perhaps it is because you have exercised your whole life but never stretched, or perhaps you sit at a desk all day. At first, you might practice modified postures. With consistency, you will gain strength, flexibility, endurance, agility and so much more. Just be mindful of where your limitations are at first.
What About Pre-Existing Pain & Old Injuries?
While you might feel sore or tired after doing your yoga or pilates practice, or sometimes even during your practice, it is not necessary to push your body to the point of causing injury. Throughout our lives, we primarily tell our bodies what to do. With time, the yoga practice becomes an opportunity to listen to, and respect, your body’s wants and needs. In the event of an injury, whether related to yoga or past outside experience, there are many special adjustments, modifications and considerations that one of our instructors can recommend. One of the main long-term benefits of body movement modalities like yoga and pilates is healing. By creating and inviting more balance into one’s overall state of being, the regular practitioner creates the space to allow healing on many levels. If you deal with chronic pain or a pre-existing condition, our Body Mechanics for Functional Mobility classes will be idea for you to work one on one with Krista to create a movement routine, specifically designed to address your issues and assist you in gaining mobility, improve function, and with time, balance the body to lesson or altogether eradicate pain.
