A ToZ yoga that fits all - is it possible?

I have made a number of posts trying to point out that I haven't come across a yoga that "fits all", and that's probably why Hatha is not popular with a lot of people here. I'm sure a lot have tried it like me, found it personally unsuitable, and either tried something else or simply dropped the idea of yoga altogether, which is not advisable.
To have "poses modified to the individual" is to devise a personal routine for the individual (which I pointed out I have done).
In other words, I think we're skirting the issue here and the fact must be faced that Hatha is not compatible for all and something more universal should be devised.
Would it be too bold to suggest that HPS Lydia Coventina come up with an officially adopted yoga here of her design to suit us all?
Holding unto things because they have been here from the origins since the beginning is no longer the accepted policy here and this is a very good example.
I hope this is accepted in the respectful spirit it was intended 🙏
 
It doesn't fit you in which way? Im somehow not that flexible and I manage to find it easier as I do it more. If you expect to be able to do the handstand first week and some more advance pose, then you have the wrong mindset.

Do the easiest pose, push a little bit everytime you do it. It will get better with practice.
 
No such thing as a Yoga routine that fits all.
That being said, deeper diving into and deeper Yoga material directly on the ToZ would be great, and judging by the polls by HPS Lydia Coventina, it is being worked on.
 
No, I don't do handstands. I do a cardiovascular walk or run every second day, full stretch 30-45 minutes, then weights. Some of the stretch asanas are similar to Hatha.
But you're probably right, as we are all different, and finding something that fits everyone is not realistic.
We all have different parents by their DNA. We are part of that genetic "history" from past lives.

There is no one type of yoga that fits all. No one routine will suit all members, nor should it, because we are all individuals with different anatomy, different body structure, different interests, different souls.

We all start from the beginning, and work towards the best expression of each asana for us as an individual. It takes approximately 10 years to get the flat forward fold, chest against thighs with legs straight. This is because yoga is a journey! I've been doing yoga for over 20 years and am still working towards perfecting many asanas.

That being said, I am working on more posts about yoga.

I am very excited for them, High Priestess.
I am always slacking on Yoga, although I do go out of my way to do it.

Do you know whether the material you already posted will be added to the main site? It would be very convenient.

Yes it will all be added :)
