Yoga Suggestions

I used to take a chair yoga class when I was going to physical therapy and enjoyed it. I had even gotten to a point where I was able to do some of it without modifications. All of the local yoga studios only offer hot yoga which I cannot do. I also can't afford the classes. Does anyone know of a good yoga DVD or even a class on YouTube they can suggest. Really want to get back to it but will have to do it at home. Thanks.

I always think taking a class with someone is helpful . It's one of the things I did to get over agoraphobia . I took a class with two friends who didn't know I had this fear and after class we would stop for tea and a snack. It was fun and frightening . When one class finished I would sign up for another. I made these commitments to others but the real commitment was to myself. I always took classes through our community education which was more affordable, but if I needed to start at home I would get two warm bodies and turn on you tube, light a couple candles , and there you go.

I did enjoy being part of a class but unfortunately the budget is a bit too tight right now. No one has any interest in taking a class with me so I guess my two bodies will have to be the dog and cat for now. Better than goat yoga I suppose.

Sometimes we can only do what we can do. Maybe a different opportunity will present itself. Hugs, Pam

Thank you. I do a lot of things on my own. This may become one of them.

Lol on the goat yoga. I remember when my dog was alive and I would be on the floor doing my yoga. He thought it was play time. Took a lot of disciplining and treats to get him to leave me alone lol

He liked to bite my hair haha.

Great memory for me, thank you for bringing that back🐾🐾

Lol:) I just don't understand it. Looks like the goat got bored pretty quick.

Would love to see the stability of the goat during a head stand hahaha

We could all give it a go without the goat at first ....would make some interesting picture puzzles

Yes, try it without the goat first. That's a great idea.

Picture puzzles are always welcome :)

Definitely no goats. My dog lays on the mat which is fine. With my luck the goat would pee on me lol

Thanks will check it out.

Good post! This is helpful

My 70 year old Mom & I enjoy Rodney Yee’s DVD. It may be called AM & PM Yoga. It’s simple and gentle. Nothing fancy.

YouTube has a lot to offer as well. Perhaps search “gentle yoga”.

I’ve seen some on early morning PBS channels
