No, you don’t need to be flexible to enjoy yoga. Many think flexibility is essential for yoga, but that's not true. Yoga is for everyone, no matter how flexible you are ..or are not. With regular practice, you’ll likely notice less restriction in your movement over time.
Yoga can also help with aches and pains from daily activities, especially from sitting too long. Common issues like tight hips, lower back pain, and rounded shoulders can improve with yoga practice.
Additionally, yoga helps improve posture and body alignment. By focusing on breathing, balance, and movement, you’ll become more aware of your body and can make adjustments for better alignment.
In short, yoga benefits physical and mental well-being, and anyone can enjoy it, regardless of flexibility.
