I am not fit. Can I still do yoga?

Yes. You do not become fit enough for yoga and then begin; yoga itself can become part of the way you develop strength, mobility, balance and endurance. Research has found improvements in several aspects of physical function through regular yoga practice.

Choose a level at which you can work without constantly being overwhelmed. Rest when needed and use modifications. Over time the same posture may feel completely different because your strength, coordination and breathing have changed.

Yoga is not asking you to prove where you are today. It gives you a practice through which today’s body can gradually change.
