Can't Do Yoga?

First of all take the "can't" out of your vocabulary regarding anything/everything!  Now that is settled, anyone can do Yoga!  Yoga isn't about touching your toes or wrapping your legs around your ears.  Yoga isn't about worship.  Sure there are those people....For the purposes of this Blog; however, we are going to establish Yoga as a stretching ritual, so call it whatever you like, but I will be referring to it as Yoga (you know who you are) ;-)  Yoga also isn't about competition or looking like anyone other individual, so don't torture your joints to look like a pose that in it's fullness is not ready for your body yet.  Props are not a sign of weakness or a sign of elementary skill.  Props are just that, PROPS.  They aide your body in achieving the full benefits of a pose you otherwise would be incorrectly forcing your body into and not actually benefiting or worse yet injuring yourself (you know who you are ;-) ).  Stages Of Understanding  "Yoga is about learning to skillfully move your body through it's appropriate range of motion." (Yoga Journal, May 2012 Issue, "Basics" article)
