The first yoga I experienced was yin, and it was not a good time. My body was in rough shape and the entire experience was very painful, especially the soreness afterward. The instructor never suggested to go to discomfort and then back off. The entire class was maxing out the holds and there were no modifications suggested.
Since then of course I’ve had better experiences with it! But that class caused muscle cramps.
Wow! I learned so much. I had no idea there were so many variations and the benefits that come with it.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for reading. I’m glad to hear this.

That’s good to know as a reminder to offer options. Giving options gives more people the opportunity to practice. Glad you gave it another chance.
