i love the serenity that yoga brings. it truly is a mind, body, and soul experience unlike any other. I completely understand your struggle. before i started doing yoga i wasn’t flexible as well. but the beauty of yoga is that the more you do it the better you get at it. yoga itself enables you to do yoga if you keep your mind and heart open and committed to the journey. so keep practicing on a regular basis. stretches should NOT be painful. before you get into stretches, especially the deeper ones, make sure that you’re fully warmed up first. get a good amount of sun salutations in. let me know how it goes
i was just going back through some recent photos when i weighed in in the 180-185lb range. And my arms look the same as they do now in my 190-195 range. So where is the weight coming from? I have been working on my legs more since my last comp. I guess these is where accurate measurements would come in handy. That’s what i’m going to do. If I can maintain my size while losing weight that would be great. it would help me with my shows and also come in handy in yoga because i’ll be dealing with a lighter frame while maintaining the same strength.
