"From what I can gather flexibility, core strength and calm. As I said elsewhere I really ought to do it because I'm too damn impatient to.  "
That also depends on type of yoga you pick.. I was reading about this the other day. |

I have no idea about the choices
I can just touch my toes  "
Then aim for touching floor with flat hands |

First time i did a yoga session my back felt amazing afterwards.
You should do something like yoga or pilates cos when it comes to flexibility you either use it or lose it the older you get.
Ive heard good things about hot yoga. |

The one which appeals to me most is vinyasa or flow yoga. |

My take is just do simple moves daily
Try not to get caught in the differences trap look for the similaritys
I'm no fan of hot yoga mainly because its it's trying too hard to be quirky
Yoga needs to be simple fluid daily practice that one can do anywhere and any time
I treat standing on one leg whenever as yoga
It's much more a case of doing than what your doing a lot more about zero thought than thinking about what to do

I took up yoga (for seniors) a few weeks before the lockdown. It really helped my back and my balance (my tree was coming on a treat  I recently had a hospital outpatients procedure and yoga breathing calmed me down and helped me through it. |

I dont know too much about all the different styles, i think i did ashtanga or something. My mate whos into said hot yoga is mint but it can get intense.
I'm deffo going to start it regularly before i get too old. Seen 60 year olds more flexible than me. |

I started in a beginners class in January and I couldn't believe the difference it makes. More flexibility in your body, helps with my back but the biggest thing for me is the mental strength it gives me. I wish I'd done it years ago.
I know do vinyassa you, more movement and trickier moves. I've been having online classes since lock down.
One other thing, I can know get into some really interesting sexual positions |

Yoga with Adrienne is an excellent place to start on youtube...she’s a good teacher and it’s all free. I wouldn’t get too hung up on the types. Some of it is flexibility, strength, balance, releasing and moving energy, breathing...it’s awesome. |

I liked her voice and she is so gentle. |

That would be fantastic. Lol. I have spoken to a neighbour and she has suggested we go to a class together. She also suggested cutting down on the meat I eat. I am considering this also. |

"Is it any good for weight loss "
It will tone your muscles but I don't think it would have a significant impact on weight. Combined with walking and a slight reduction in food intake I reckon you'd notice a difference. |

For flexibility some places do hot yoga , did a hot class once in the top of the chard
Personally it’s not for me. I prefer qigong for energy//health and straightforward zen meditation for relaxation and normal gym for stretch/strength.
I find yoga a bit wishy washy aimed at middle class mums. But I think it has benefits, Pilates is probably much better for core than yoga |
