Joseph Encinia is an inspiration to people all across the world.
When you watch him do seemingly impossible yoga postures, it’s easy to think “he’s just super flexible” and “he’s probably always been that way”. But Joseph’s humble journey from childhood arthritis to yoga champion gives people like me hope that anything is possible.
Not only did Joseph struggle with childhood arthritis, he had a heart attack at the age of thirteen. You can read his personal story here. Through years of hard work and dedication, Bikram Yoga transformed Joseph’s body, mind and spirit. He now travels the world, teaching the young and old alike, yoga postures that have been healing bodies for thousands of years.
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do. Now let’s get into a hot yoga room and practice yoga, anything is possible!
