Extremely helpful. You stretch to your capability, no competition. It's relaxing and very good exercise.

I'd love to get into Yoga the older I get. However, I can never seem to find a class near me to join! Maybe it's time I tried looking harder!!

U Tube has free videos which I use at home sometimes. It's a good way to start!

Yes it has for a few years at the gym. My neurologist recommended it to me. I already knew about this from news segments on the news last year. I have yoga tonight too.

From one yoga fan to another it really helps! I have more energy, my muscles don't get stiff, I sleep better and I have fewer bad issues! Those "Cat cows" and "Down Dogs" are a real benefit, lol.

@dgobucks226 DB, thanks for that. I still have to figure something like beginning yoga or something to relax myself.

Yes, it is best to work at a pace comfortable to you. What I like about yoga is the exercise is not competitive. You do what your capable of doing and overtime you see improvement.
