rf_fozzy Jan 2022 11:35am, 11 Jan 2022 16,095 posts	0 rf_fozzy Do they do a Yoga for people who are inflexible by inflexible people's standards?? Most people I know who say they are inflexible are practically contortionists compared to me. Which is why I say yoga is for bendy people. Quite a lot of whom (not people on here though) who are incredibly smug about it. Garfield - I've done frogs in the past. Did them in bed so the mattress takes some of the stress. I have to each leg in isolation though - doing both legs together puts strain on my lower back.

Garfield Jan 2022 2:07pm, 11 Jan 2022 16,479 posts	0 Garfield LOL about schedule inflexibility! Fozzy, that's a good start...the bed is very forgiving and allows the lower back to get a bit of support. I find it challenging to give hip opening advice as mine are flexible, so I have to think about how I would give advice for tight hips...my quads and hamstrings are incredibly inflexible/tight (relatively speaking).

I'll give Adriene a shot this year - though I frequently lose interest about a week in...in the previous years I've tried it. Here's Kassandra's offering on YouTube in the meantime... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX32D3gKXENrhOXdZjWWtMA
