A member asked:

Should i go to senior or intro yoga class at 55?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Introduction class: Assuming that you have minimal prior exposure, then you should take an introductory class rather than a senior class; unless you have chronic diseases that have accelerated a decline in your mobility.

Dr Fowler and 5 doctors agreed

What is your level: of conditioning? If it is low - consider the senior class. Take care.
