I love yoga; it has kept me flexible and stronger for the last few years.
I joined 'Do Yoga with Me', a website based out of Victoria BC. They have lots of free videos, and you can also join with a monthly fee for an extended range of classes.
I looked at the program you posted, and it doesn't look dodgy, and it is not expensive, Give it a try and let us know. It's definitely geared towards older people.
Thanks for the ideas re Tai Chi and Pilates. I used to practise Tai Chi many years ago and really enjoyed it. Pilates is also good.
I'm just being a bit lazy. I work full time so I was just looking for a kind of programme that I could do before work and would offer different sessions for 10 mins/day without searching all over YouTube or similar for a session. I get bored by repetition and, by the time I've searched for different sessions, it's practically time to head off!
Although I've done yoga for a little while, I am wary that you can easily hurt yourself if you're not careful which is why I was wondering about this aimed at over 50s.
I would rather it was UK based. Maybe I just need to have a good browse.
No probs mrs2cats I like yoga but can’t really do the very hard stuff why not try some beginners stuff on YouTube I wouldn’t pay a sub for an American website, personally, but if it’s what you fancy why not ?
That’s ok BlueBelle. I realise that there are some unscrupulous people around and heaven knows how many have targeted mumsnet over the years. I’m wary of buying from Facebook links etc which is why I thought I’d ask if anyone has any experience. I probably should have worded the title of the discussion differently.
I did search before posting here and there is a website etc. They appear to have a studio in Seattle and do online yoga classes that seem to be well reviewed.
Maybe I’ll try a couple of their YouTube videos to check the style.
mrs2cats sorry I ve upset you about that but that looks a strange link most people on here are cautious about opening unknown links and the USD 27 didn’t seem to add up either You can get a lot of dodgy stuff advertised on Fb You may be genuine but is the link ?
BlueBelle, I’m not sure what you mean. I’m just saying that this website keeps showing on my Facebook feed and I’m intrigued, wondering whether I should buy it and wondering if anyone has used it and found it useful.
I’ve been a member of Mumsnet for around 20 years and a member of this site for a year or so. I am very much a real person as I’m sure HQ will find if that’s what you’re concerned about.
Don't know if anyone else get this but this keeps coming up on my Facebook feed. For USD27 I get access to a set of 10 minute stretch and strength routines.
I'm sort of tempted. I like the idea of a programme of 10 minute routines and I do have some niggly pains in the lower back and sometimes upper back. However, I do do some yoga and I'm not sure if this is a great addition to what I already do. Maybe I'm looking for a magic wand .
