It isn't necessary to do the most advanced poses to get the benefits of yoga. It is the discipline of a regular practice, focusing on the detail of alignment and relaxing into the postures, that allows the prana (chi, energy) to flow freely. This improves health and strength, reduces stress, and brings mind, body and spirit into harmony; which allows the true self to shine through. We can all obtain these benefits, whatever our body shape and level of flexibility.
As a sufferer from ME, I have found my regular yoga practice to be invaluable in maintaining my energy levels and my optimism. I recently moved to Northumberland and have found that the tranquil environment and clean air have transformed my health. Arthritis is proving harder to eliminate and does limit my range of postures to some extent.
