Introduction to Yoga

[Gary Mc]

Can anybody help me with a private very gentle introduction to yoga?

I am a mature male professional manager (57) whose body is slowly getting less fit. I need something to help me keep fit but not sure if this is the right thing...

I would recommend reaching out to any of the local yoga studios and having a conversation with them about what class they would suggest for you and what equipment you should take with you. I don't know the studios in east Dulwich but there's the shala in w Norwood and yoga haven (mostly hot yoga) in Clapham.

Most yogis are really warm and open people who are delighted to help people who are just starting out so I'm sure you'll get a really warm reception.

Luckily, yoga is practised totally on your own mat for and within your own limitations without judgment so you don't need to worry about being 'stiff' or 'bad'. There's no such thing.

In my limited experience the most important thing is finding a space to practice in with a teacher you really connect with who helps you develop safely.

Yoga for me has been a brilliant journey and I really hope you give it a go and have a great experience.

If you're interested in private tuition I can recommend a lovely Brazilian teacher who is very experienced with brand new yogis, just pm me for details.

Good luck!
