When looking for an image to use with this blog post, I found a No Pain No Pain t-shirt. And, then I read the sales description of the shirt: “A cute and cool saying on a tee when you are lazy and do not work hard and tell yourself that at least you will feel no pain.”
There’s a lot of buzz around “accessible yoga” these days. Which is a very good thing. Because the yoga “industry” has a lot of exclusivity and affordability issues. Yoga is NOT exclusively for young thin white women who can do things like put their legs behind their heads.
If you’ve been thinking yoga isn’t for you because of decreased mobility issues, consider that adding a chair to a yoga practice makes it possible to experience the benefits of yoga while still being kind and gentle to your body.
