Today we took a yoga class. This was my first.
It was beginner-level yoga but my arms are a little sore anyway. We didn't do as much balancing and strength stuff as I might have liked, and there was a lot of chanting or singing, but otherwise it was a lot like any other martial arts class you might take. Sans beating of each other after stretching, of course. :)
I was surprised that guided meditation still basically works on me and how many parallels to my old karate class we had. Luckily, I'm pretty flexible so most of the moves were do-able.
I can definitely see how yoga, as a regular thing, would lead to a much healthier life as you get older. Anything that promotes flexibility is good. Especially foot and leg flexibility as I know all about old people, feet, and death from my time at the VA.
