Just because you can’t touch your toes doesn’t mean that a good dose of yoga can’t help. Flexibility is not a requirement. Yoga is a fantastic way to dynamically warm up for your day OR to wind down at the end of your day. It ALSO engages your core, increases flexibility, and focuses your breathing.
