Yoga has become a stereotype in today’s world. When we suggest someone incorporates yoga into their life, we often hear responses such as “I am not flexible enough” or “I am too old”. Somewhere along the line yoga has become constructed as a skinny girl standing on her head and doing stretches.

Yoga is not about flexibility, or being able to walk on your hands, or hang upside down. Yoga is a lifestyle – it is in everything, and it is for everyone. As T.K.V Desikachar says, “Anybody can breathe, therefore anybody can practice yoga”.
