No. Yoga is for everyone, regardless of flexibility.
One of the most common misconceptions is that you need to be naturally flexible to start practicing yoga. In reality, flexibility develops over time as you build strength and gently stretch your muscles. Our instructors at Balance Twenty One are skilled in offering modifications and alternatives to accommodate all levels of ability. This means you can focus on your personal progress without feeling pressured to match others.

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Typically, fitted or stretchy clothes work best to prevent them from shifting during poses. As for gear, bring a yoga mat, a water bottle, and a towel for comfort and hygiene.
If you’re new and don’t own a mat, don’t worry—we provide mats and essential props at Balance Twenty One. It’s also a good idea to arrive a few minutes early to set up your space and mentally prepare for the session.

Consistency is key when it comes to yoga. Beginners might start with 1 class per week to build familiarity with the poses and routines.
As you gain confidence and strength, you may increase to 2-3 sessions weekly.
Even practicing once a week can have positive effects on your body and mind, including improved flexibility, better posture, and a more relaxed state of being. It’s essential to listen to your body and progress at a pace that feels comfortable.

Absolutely. One of the most celebrated benefits of yoga is its ability to reduce stress and promote emotional well-being.
By combining breathing techniques, gentle movement, and mindfulness, yoga helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation.
Regular practice can decrease cortisol levels, promote better sleep, and provide tools for managing anxious thoughts. Many practitioners find that yoga not only improves their physical health but also supports a more balanced, peaceful state of mind.
