Tonight I had the privilege of teaching two men. They are both a little bit older and limited in their movements. It was so lovely to have a class of similar abilities and be able to modify as they needed. We really slowed it down and kept our bodhi flow portion short. After, we really focused on releasing hips and finding balance. When it was all done, one of the men said thanks for adjusting it to fit a couple of old men.
Yoga is for everyone. I will always remember the elderly gentleman at Syl's studio who started yoga at 70, and it gave him his life back. I had never seen such an "old" man so light on his feet and flexible. It is truly amazing what yoga practiced consistently can do for our bodies!
