Expert Answer

It can certainly be challenging depending on the poses or type of yoga that you're doing, but it's definitely something everyone can do, especially if they have a good teacher. The one thing I'd point out is that if you find yoga exceptionally difficult, you may be pushing your body farther than you should. It shouldn't be painful, though.

You can use a bolster to help you out if you're struggling with a certain pose. Alternatively, you can always use blankets or pillows to prop yourself up. If you aren't using a mat, definitely get a yoga mat.
