Washington, May 16: The highly-rated physical flexibility is a No. 1 myth when it comes to yoga practice, it has been revealed.

According to the Huffington Post, Taylor Wells, the founder and owner of Prana Power Yoga and author of Create the Best Life Ever and a United Nations Yoga Peace Ambassador revealed that “touching your toes” isn’t really that important as it comes naturally over time in the practice.

Wells added that it is the emotional, mental, and spiritual flexibility that are virtuous and life-enhancing, as an open mind and heart will render more joy in one’s life.

People don’t need to wake up at 4 am every morning to cultivate openness and emotional flexibility and it can literally be two minutes on your mat in rag doll while slowly breathing in and out and setting your intention for the day, Wells said.
