No need. It is really helpful to have a dance foundation or good flexibility to do some difficult poses, but yoga pays more attention to spiritual practice, not to what extent you can do poses.

The purpose of practicing yoga is to keep yourself awake, and yoga pose is actually a way of self-awareness and self-understanding-through various actions, to feel every part of your body, to feel their feelings in extreme state, to feel their feelings in completely relaxed state, to pay attention to your breathing and to feel your body.

Therefore, practicing yoga is actually a process of self-awareness and self-breakthrough, and it is your own practice. When practicing yoga poses, it is important to "feel your body", not to compare with others. Everyone has different physical qualities and can make different postures. However, as long as you let go of everything outside, try to be aware of your breathing and feelings, get along with yourself, and do your best under your own physical conditions, you can say that you have achieved your goal. Blindly pursuing difficult poses may lead to the mentality of quick success and instant benefit, which runs counter to the spirit of yoga.

It is suggested that yoga practitioners should read more classic yoga works, pay less attention to posture and pay more attention to body and mind.
