My clothes are laid out, my house keys are ready, my towel is prepared, and my free yoga mat, courtesy of my favorite store, is set to go! I’m off to my first yoga class in ages! It’s going to be held in our clubhouse, and I’m excited! See you later!

@LadyDuck My chiropractor suggested it last year when I pulled something in my back. He said it’s also good for flexibility and balance. I hope you do. We can be TWINS!

Well, it wasn’t exciting, but it was relaxing and a tiny bit difficult. I’m going to continue with it every week now. It’s good for my back and for flexibility.

Enjoy the class, yoga is so good for our health but it needs practice. I was doing also but started with pilates recently and I am planning to continue for a while because it's more powerful.

@DianneN Yoga and pilates are so beneficial for our health. And the muscles we use are so different from other types of exercise, even if I exercise regularly after a pilates class I will always feel sore.

Pilates is excellent! I’ve done it before up north. The gym I use down here doesn’t offer it. I definitely need the practice and flexibility.

@besweet Exactly! I exercise like a nut, but it’s good to use muscles that haven’t been used for a while, if ever!

Ohhhh, wish I could join you! Well have fun! My mother in law told us she went to her first yoga class at her senior place - but she went to the wrong class for her (turned out to be advanced yoga ).

@DianneN I am told that during these silent moments in yoga, there are also often sounds of people passing gas too . Well, probably just a natural thing that happens when you make your body do certain poses . Yah, my mother in law definitely knew she went into the wrong class. She is mostly healthy but recently her lower back has been hurting - so she wanted to take yoga for that reason too. I would take beginners too - it's been a while for me - this stuff has to be built up. I think I last took it in my early 30s. I never ever ever got up to those advanced pretzel poses! Hope you weren't too sore . . . but you are active anyway, so maybe it wasn't so bad .

Yes, I know we’d have fun, although there was a lot of silent moments except for hearing people exhaling. Omg! That must have been awful for her. My class was for beginners, since I forgot so much of everything. It’s more Ying than Yang for now, but it wasn’t totally easy. I’m going to be sore tomorrow, but I plan on keeping it up weekly. It’s good for my back and flexibility.

@much2say OMG!. I will pray that doesn’t happen to me, or that will be the last class I ever take. My chiropractor recommended that I take it up again for my lower back after I pulled it out last May. I hope it helps. I was surprised to find that I wasn’t sore at all. I thought I would be for sure.

Enjoy and I am glad you posted this, our library I just saw is offering Gentle Yoga, I think on MOnday's. I have to check on that and go. The county has it too, but you have to pay 10 bucks and it is further away for me. I have to write myself a note and check on the day and time for the liibrary.
