We seem to have this idea that in order to do yoga we must be flexible. This simply is not true. Flexibility comes as a result of doing yoga for those who were not flexible at the start of their yoga practice.
I came to yoga very stiff and tight. I could not even touch my toes! Gradually and with practice I gained flexibility. I may never be able to touch my foot to the top of my head or sit in full lotus but it doesn't make me any less of a yogi.
Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself, and be content with where you are in your practice. Everyone has a different body and everyones practice will look a little bit different. Don't be afraid to start because you are not flexible. Just keep practicing and it will come.
