Just came across this interesting article in shape.com and according to the author, ‘Flexibility is more in your mind than in your body.’ Really???
She continues to say ‘If you let go of reaching for a picture-perfect pose, the barriers you have built, and tightness in your mind, you just may surprise yourself. Let go in your mind, and your body will let go too.’
Mnnnnnn.. She might have a point. Perfection does come with practice.
She recommends the below modified poses three times a week, taking five to 10 deep breaths, and seeing how it goes. Don’t forget to take deep breaths. Use each inhale to create space and each exhale to let go of any tension you might be holding onto. Release!
Oookaaay will try:-)
