Yoga is for every body—no flexibility required! Follow these simple steps to begin your practice with confidence.

1. Start Where You Are

• You don’t need to touch your toes

• Modifications are encouraged

• Progress happens with consistency, not perfection

2. Essential Gear

• Mat: Choose non-slip (5mm thick ideal)

• Clothing: Stretchy, breathable fabrics

• Props: Blocks and straps help (but pillows work too!)

3. 5 Beginner-Friendly Poses

1. Mountain Pose (Tadasana): Stand tall, feet rooted

2. Cat-Cow: Sync spine movements with breath

3. Downward Dog: Pedal feet to stretch gently

4. Warrior I: Build strength and focus

5. Child’s Pose: Rest and reset anytime

4. Practice Tips

• Breathe: Inhale/exhale through nose

• Go Slow: Hold poses 3-5 breaths

• Listen to Your Body: Discomfort ≠ pain

5. Beginner Routine

• 5 min warm-up (neck rolls, shoulder circles)

• 10 min pose practice (choose 3-5 above)

• 5 min Savasana (lie still, palms up)

Remember: Yoga is a journey—not a performance. Start with 10-15 minutes daily and grow from there.
