Yoga recommendations for someone with zero flexibility

[HermioneWeasley]

I’m going to have some time off coming up so want to take the opportunity to improve my flexibility. I have zero at the moment- can’t touch my toes.

any recommendations for programs to follow to improve from a zero base? Thanks

Is there any chance of you finding a local hatha or iyengar class? A good teacher will adapt postures to different levels & also encourage the use of props like blocks & straps.

Yoga with Adrienne on you tube has lots of beginner videos if different lengths. Start easy and build up.

This guy is good:

But honestly I would ask about teachers local to you, at least to get started.

Thanks both

Definitely Adrienne on YouTube

If you can possibly find someone who does one to one lessons, you can get off to a really good start. It’s so easy to confuse what a pose looks like and how to reproduce the same actual effort in your own limbs. A one to one teacher was the only way I finally got the hang of that. Otherwise I kept injuring myself., entirely out of ignorance.

Thanks for the suggestions

I'd do Pilates instead. It's much more suitable for stiffer people. I've been doing Pilates for years. I can't even get into (or out of) most Yoga positions safely!
