I started yoga 4 years ago when my gym started offering classes. I was 40, tired, overweight, and out of shape. Now my yoga teacher asks me to pose for her to take pics in the yoga clothes she sells! I have come a long way for sure!
If you are a yogi, do you mix in other kinds of exercise too? I try to do yoga 3 x a week and cardio and weights 2x a week. How do you mix it up?

I started yoga in my 20’s. It was so cool to learn a way to move that wasn’t sports, cardio or a step aerobics VHS (thanks Mom!)

Now I incorporate it into almost everything. What used to be simple stretch turns into a pose for a minute and it’s not only physically refreshing, but puts my head into a nice place. Now that I’m lifting weights at home I’m incorporating yoga moves afterward to help stretch out the tight muscles.

Great question and photo!

My favourite yoga is yin yoga, which I find to be very relaxing, but since it’s very good for stretching, it has helped my flexibility a lot as well.
