Dear Ms. Yogi

Dear Ms. Yogi:

I have not exercised regularly in a while; I have been very busy with work and family. I would like to be more flexible as I am getting older and know if I were in better shape it would help me later in life. Can someone like me really do yoga?

Signed,

Getting older and out of shape

Dear Getting Older,

You are right, becoming more flexible and in better shape will of course help you later in life. The great thing is that you won’t have to wait until later to feel better. If you find a yoga instructor that is willing and able to work with you individually he or she can work up a special routine that meets your individual needs and assists with your personal fitness goals.

Any one can (and should in my opinion) do yoga. The benefits are great with increased flexibility, strength building, stress relieving, gaining energy and connecting more to your body to better understand its needs.

With all those benefits and more, who would want to wait even a day longer?
