@soulsings
I have never tried yoga but I can see the benefits that it imparts for people 💙
@soulsings
I either practise yoga or tai chi. Both help me to feel calm and more balanced as well keep my body flexible.
@amiablePeace77 good choices.
@soulsings
Yes, I have practiced yoga although not regularly. It has numerous benefits and I'm hoping to make it a part of my daily life.
@trueconfidant123 I do yoga stretching floor exercises laying on my bed in the morning while trying to wake up. I started with Adrienne Complete Beginner Yoga on Youtube for just 20 minutes.
@soulsings interesting. Thanks for sharing.
@trueconfidant123 you are welcome
I have done actual yoga before, but I can't really get into it. Two things stop me. The first is that I find that my brain actually goes to the things that I should be letting go and forgetting about while doing the yoga. I tend to over think my issues during this time. The second is that I'm so stiff and un-limber(is that even a word) that I cannot make most of the positions without pain. I know the more I practice and do it, the better I will be at it, but I feel like such a failure trying. With that said, I do force myself to do stretching and mobility exercises(not actually yoga poses, per se, a couple times a week.....
@CyclingThroughLife stretching and mobility is good also.
Have you tried five minute tai chi on Youtube? It is energy and breathing.
@soulsings
I have not.....I will look that up....thanks
@soulsings
I never did because..... I do not like group classes. I am suddenly shy then
- Do you practice yoga and what benefits have you received?

@Fradiga I hear you. That is why I tended toward virtual online classes thye were lie private instruction.
I love yoga! I’ve been going to classes and lately practicing at home, it brings me not only joy and peace but also a great relief for my joints and muscles ❤️
@0pentohelp my joints and muscles too!
Yes
@soulsings I like yoga but I haven't done it in a while.. i probably should.. just cant meditate without " checking out " lol
@soulsings
I have like wicked PTSD from combat and believe it or not one of the things they have you do for it is yoga. Yes it absolutely helps. I got out of it like 10 years ago but I'd love to get back into it. I was actually pretty decent at it. I can still do "the crow"
@SmackyMcGee glad to hear it helps. I do Palouse yoga on youtube or Adrienne yoga on youtube.
@soulsings
oh cool. Maybe I should look into it 🤔
@soulsings I would love to do yoga-when I went to program they had what is chair yoga. Ya didnt need get on the floor but there were also some stuff one could do standing. I enjoyed it but cant find any classes around. I would also love to learn Cha Chi
@eternalHero77 glad to hear you like yoga. Here is free online chair yoga https://youtu.be/-Ts01MC2mIo?si=Ubt37p5QH__HH-bs
If you want chair Tai Chi try this free youtube video https://youtu.be/Zysx0FCqacI?si=OU4bhLu1TTAwBWFQ
@soulsings Thank ya so much. This is very helpful
