In 2016, a year into my yoga practice, I was told by a physio that if I continued to practice the way I was, then I would end up in a wheelchair by the time I reached my mid-forties. Due to having both hypermobility syndrome and fibromyalgia, she told me that if I wanted to continue my yoga journey, I had to figure out a way to practice yoga with functionality and accept that my body has limits and barriers.
