Do i need to be very flexible to join the classes?
There may be a relationship between yoga and flexibility, but being flexible isn't a prerequisite for doing yoga.
"You don't have to touch your toes to practice yoga.
"Whether or not you're flexible should not dictate whether you practice. Over time, yoga can help you become more flexible—that's why we call it practice—but you don't have to be Gumby-like to start. Flexibility is a result of yoga, not a prerequisite."

Are You curious now, to know about Yoga style?
At Just4Health combination of Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga yoga is practiced.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Ha’ means ‘prana’, ‘tha’ represents ‘mind’. Hatha yoga aims to bring about a state of harmony between the pranic & mental forces through its practices.
Hatha yoga is a style of yogic practice wherein the emphasis is on the practice of Asanas (postures), Pranayama’s (specialized breathing techniques), Shatkarmas (cleansing techniques), Mudras (symbols) & Bandhas (seals or locks).
The aim of this approach is to bring about a state of detoxification and rejuvenation of Annamaya, Pranayama koshas, which would help us to get into higher practices of Dhyana (meditation) & Samadhi (contemplation).
The higher practices in turn would help us to get to the other planes namely Manomaya & Vijnanamaya koshas promoting harmony and leading to Anandamaya state of being.
Ashtanga Yoga
​
Ashtanga yoga is nothing but eight limbed yoga, originally proposed by Patanjali maharishi.
The eight steps mentioned are:
-
Yama (moral codes)
-
Niyama (self code of conduct)
-
Asana (posture)
-
Pranayama (breath control)
-
Pratyahara (sense control)
-
Dharana (concentration)
-
Dhyana (meditation)
-
Samadhi (contemplation)
Yama, Niyama, Asana & Pranayama are considered to be the external practices which help to bring about a state of perfect synchrony of all the organs, organ systems & functions of the body and also cleanse or purify the physical system of its toxins. These four limbs are also considered to be part of Bahiranga yoga and address Annamaya, Pranamaya & partially Manomaya koshas.
Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana & Samadhi are considered as internal practices which help to fetch a state of harmony of our higher functions at Manomaya & Vijnanamaya koshas leading to our true nature which is Anandamaya.
