POSES FOR NON-FLEXIBLE PEOPLE
We come across many people daily who think that Yoga practices are only for flexible people. Many people think they can’t do Yoga because they are stiff or not flexible enough. Yoga is a practice that makes a person more flexible and increases the range of motion. It makes you stretch those muscles, so all non-stretchable people should be encouraged to do Yoga. Try the following asana, which can help non-flexible people increase flexibility.
Stiffness is a prominent problem nowadays, with demanding schedules and working hours. The body turns stiff, and muscles create knots that become painful to work out. This will make you realize that it is time to do something about it, as you won’t be able to work long hours. However, hold on to Yoga for help when things go south. It will give you a clear vision of how to do it now.

Tadasana (mountain pose)
This asana, also known as the mountain pose, is done by standing straight with feet together and back in a straight position. Raise your arms while inhaling and stand on your toes, holding for a while and sometimes coming back while exhaling. This asana is well known to increase height by stretching the muscles. The deep breathing pattern again increases the blood flow to the cells, which helps them get nutrients and hence improves your growth and height.

Vrikshasana (tree pose)
This is also known as the tree pose. It is done by folding the legs and placing them over the thighs, with the entire weight on the second leg. Moving the joint hands upward and balancing, hold for a few seconds while breathing gently. Repeat with another leg.

Lie on your abdomen with your legs extended. Your fingers should point downwards towards the legs, and your legs should be drawn extended.

However, it is not tough either. All you need is determination and zeal to prove yourself if you want to make a mark in Yoga. Things might seem harsh, but the fact is that they are not. Just keep going, and you will see how stiffness will go far away from your life.
