My first yoga class was a random one at the gym of the university where I was working in my mid-30s. And, I have a vague memory of using a borrowed VCR yoga tape with some consistency for a few weeks not long after that.
There’s a lot of buzz around “accessible yoga” these days. Which is a very good thing. Because the yoga “industry” has a lot of exclusivity and affordability issues. Yoga is NOT exclusively for young thin white women who can do things like put their legs behind their heads.
If you’ve been thinking yoga isn’t for you because of decreased mobility issues, consider that adding a chair to a yoga practice makes it possible to experience the benefits of yoga while still being kind and gentle to your body.
