I'll be introducing this week in class the posture of Paschimottanasana / it's purpose is forward Flexion, a common mistake is to think unless you can reach your toes then you're not doing the posture correctly, in order to do this most people round the back as shown below and loose the benefit of the posture, by teaching the correct use of props such as belts you can achieve the posture and it's benefits regardless of what stage you're at with it.
Yoga is all about acceptance and doing what feels right for you, a wise man often taught us "you can't push the river",, improvement comes once we learn to accept where we're at and that progression will come in time π

β Donβt force the forward bend by rounding your spine.
βοΈ Instead, hinge from the hips, keep the spine straight, open the chest, and use a strap if needed.
This way you protect your back, deepen the stretch safely, and improve flexibility over time. πΏβ¨
