Hi all

I’m interested in yoga. After years of jump rope, weights and crossfit I am stiff and inflexible. I’m currently injured (foot fracture) and although I plan to reintroduce a little cardio back once healed I would love something more mindful like yoga.

So any yogis (is that a word?) out there and could you recommend any free yoga apps or YouTube videos I could use to get started?

Hi – if your still checking in. I like Dr Melissa West for yoga videos. I would start with gentle or yin so you don’t need to be on your feet.

Well there’s Yoga with Adriene, Bad Yogi, and Ekhart Yoga on YouTube. However, you might want to try going on a real yoga retreat instead. This might require a bit more cash than watching YT videos, but I’m telling you it’s worth it. I’ve been on this yoga retreat I found online: https://www.harmonicescapes.com recently and it was such an amazing experience. I’ve been doing yoga for just a week when I went to the retreat, and it really helped me improve my practice so much. Plus, I get to do it with other people, who eventually became my friends, while in a beautiful and very relaxing place. It almost felt like a rewarding vacation.

Hi there!

As a fellow yogi, I can definitely recommend some resources to help you get started with yoga. When it comes to free yoga apps and YouTube channels, there are a few options you can explore. For YouTube, you can check out channels like Yoga with Adriene, Yoga with Kassandra, and Boho Beautiful. These channels offer a variety of yoga practices suitable for all levels.

If you’re specifically looking for yoga routines that cater to your current situation with a foot fracture, I suggest searching for “gentle yoga” or “chair yoga” videos(https://betterme.world/articles/chair-yoga-guide/). Chair yoga can be a great option for beginners or those with limited mobility. It allows you to perform yoga poses while seated or using a chair for support. You can search for “chair yoga for beginners” or “yoga with a chair” to find suitable videos.

Remember to listen to your body and take it slow as you ease into your yoga practice. Enjoy the journey of rediscovering flexibility and finding a mindful approach to exercise. Happy yoga-ing!
