When someone says “yoga”, more often than not, most people imagine women in spandex, sitting on a mat, meditating, contorting their body and mastering difficult poses that require flexibility and this makes the practice seem generally unapproachable.
Anyone who has tried it will tell you of its powerful benefits and that yoga is a lot more than that and the practice accommodates everyone at all levels of experience and flexibility.
