Garfield Nov 2020 9:15am, 12 Nov 2020 14,471 posts	0 Garfield When I was doing my company's Thrive week yoga, I had 10 people in each session and only one of them had their camera on. Fortunately I was doing a beginner class with plenty of instructions on how to get into the right shape, seeing I couldn't see what they were doing.
Nick Cook Apr 2021 6:41pm, 10 Apr 2021 35,211 posts	0 Nick Cook I went to the physio yesterday with a very hurty neck. She said the muscles in my neck, shoulder and all the way down my back to my wonky pelvis (can't remember if wonky was the actual word she used) were really tight. She recommended I do some yoga to keep myself loose, but not until she had finished with me!

Hanneke Apr 2021 2:28pm, 11 Apr 2021 72,360 posts	0 Hanneke I have completely given up on teaching yoga... With all the continuously changing restrictions, I realised that after a year of not being allowed, it isn't going to be any better this year...
Garfield Apr 2021 3:27pm, 11 Apr 2021 15,466 posts	0 Garfield I'm only teaching colleagues via Zoom. I probably won't be going into the office this year.

I hadn't heard of this but it seems a nice safe way for me to try yoga. I see I have one local to me so will give it a try Sunday week.
