Yoga fear

I hear yoga is a great way to relieve stress. I'm an older man so I'm not sure it's for me. Are there types of yoga that are lessstrenuous?

I know what you mean about being afraid of yoga. I took my first class with my girlfriend a year ago. It wasn't as bad as you'd think. If the teacher is good, he/she will adjust each pose/position to your ability and tolerance.

Hatha yoga is supposedly a less intense form of yoga. Take a beginners class.

There are varying degrees of hatha yoga. Def take a beginners class. There's a lot focus on breathing.

Yeah that's the terrific thing about yoga. Vinyasa yoga is a flow yoga and can get pretty strenous. But as people in the group said, a lot of yogas jsut focus on breathing and stretching. Let us know how it goes!
