Roadblocks, Fears, and Misconceptions About Yoga

I often hear from people that they "can't" do yoga.  A common one is "I'm not flexible", but there are many other misconceptions, fears, and legitimate concerns out there holding people back. The main practice of yoga is breathing (and if you're reading this you must be breathing - see you can do yoga!)  It doesn't help that we are inundated by media representations of the physical postures (most often models).  I just came across a great blog post about our roadblocks.  Finding the right teacher and venue for yoga can be the key you need to unlock the world of yoga. (we're not all cut out for power-yoga group classes!)
