Be sure to use that attention when practicing and when with your instructor to get the most out of your poses even if you cannot get deeply into them physically.
While yoga is commonly seen as just being an exercise in the West, it is an important part of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. It is still popular in India today, and is considered to be a spiritual exercise. Many Indians see it as a way of attaining enlightenment.
