Alpacalia Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I used to do Yoga religiously. But I stopped after my father had a stroke because I just don't have to time to fit it in. I was at a point where I could do Chaturanga and the crow and planks with not problem but now I feel like I am starting from ground zero. Yoga has many health benefits, not just for balance it's a pathway to inner peace and self-discovery. Honor your current energy levels and physical abilities—yoga is about progress, not perfection. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry to hear about your father and hope he is doing better now? The mental and inner peace components of yoga is what really led me to getting started. The balance, flexibility and core strength are just added benefits for sure. I am loving it so far and I love the community and vibe in the classes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MsJayne Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Yoga's an excellent component to a healthy lifestyle, you've probably already read up on the long term benefits. If you stick at it and do it regularly you should remain flexible well into old age. I have spinal issues and without yoga I'm certain those issues would be much worse, as it is I'm still mowing lawns and chopping trees down at 61 . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope to be doing the same at that age! I am definitely trying to learn as much as possible about and the flexibility is absolutely a big component of it for me. I grew up playing sports so my flexibility is ok but this is only going to help me strengthen it and maintain it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
