These are some of the statements I have heard over the years and I am here to demystify some of these beliefs. Yes, there are some yoga classes that are not recommended for someone new to yoga, or someone with chronic pain, or if you do not have a regular fitness program, etc.
Yoga can be for you if you have not been physically active in a while and you want to stretch and move your body in ways that feel good and safe for you. You may have heard how beneficial yoga can be, but there are some facts you need to know and questions you need to ask before entering a class for the first time.
During this part lecture and part workshop, I will introduce simple ways in which you can open up your body, even while seated in a chair!
