Hello, I’m from Belgium and I’m interested in spirituality and meditation. I also did some yoga and I really liked it. I’m not very limber so it did hurt a little 
Welcome to the forum, Ikkyo! By the way Ikkyo is a pain move in aikido:)
Remember that yoga is not just about being limber! Limber is a side effect:)
Good luck on you yoga path!
I know I practice aikido. Its a gently art really well, it can be gentle:-D
