Understanding flexibility
- Flexibility depends on the genetic composition of the body- like bone structure, muscle mass, excess fatty tissue, connective tissue, physical injury, etc.
- Age is another important factor which impacts flexibility.
- Excessive muscle mass (heavily built muscle) and excessive fatty tissue restricts flexibility as these interfere with complete range of movement.
- Flexibility in one area does not mean flexibility in all areas of the body. There are internal and external factors governing flexibility. A few are mentioned below
- Internal factors:Elasticity of muscle tissueAbility of the muscle to relaxTemperature in the joint (this mainly depends on atmospheric temperature)
- External factors:Climate Injuries (injured areas of the body take a long time to get back flexibility due to tissue damage)Limited flexibility due to insufficient water in the body

Depleted Chakras
While almost all the chakaras are depleted, the actual impact is on the nadis, which are less energised.
