Exactly. Don’t go to a gym yoga class. Avoid anything yoga that has “power” or “core” in its name. There are specialized therapeutic yoga teachers. Iyengar teachers are usually quite good.
- tartoran 7y agoI wouldn't go as far as not trying a yoga class, it may genuinely help. However, I wouldn't try to do everything they are doing in class and wouldn't force my body. Take it easy and gradually and make sure it's the type of class suited for you. There are beginner/intermediate and advanced classes. If something feels right it is most likely doing good and if something feels wrong don't do it anymore. Yoga could be tremendously helpful but if you don't do it right it could do more harm than good.
