You do not have to wait until you are flexible, strong, calm, or “good at yoga.” The first step can be very simple:

Sit quietly. Breathe slowly. Notice how your body feels.

That is already yoga.

For a practical start, begin with:

Today: 5–10 minutes
This week: 3 short sessions
Goal: build the habit before making it harder

A good beginner starting point:

1. Sit and breathe for 1 minute

2. Cat-Cow for 1 minute

3. Child’s Pose for 1 minute

4. Low Lunge on each side

5. Bridge Pose

6. Finish with quiet breathing

So the real answer is:

Yoga starts now — with one breath, one movement, and one moment of awareness.
