Nellers Jan 2023 5:57pm, 2 Jan 2023 40,193 posts	0 Nellers Mrs Nellers has been recommended to do yoga by her consultant as she's got a foot injury which has lead to her doing little exercise for a while and has a bit of a balance issue (cause unknown but I suspect it's about not moving much). We've just done a 20 minute beginners with Adrienne session together. I'm not huge on Yoga but I suspect that if Mrs N needs a bit of company I'll be doing it more regularly for a while.
Andrew S Jun 2024 11:46am, 14 Jun 2024 4 posts	0 Andrew S So...I have a question: My partner has persuaded me to join her for a yoga session on saturday morning. I have never ever been to yoga before so I am a bit nervous about it. But I will give it my all. I am also due to go for a run tomorrow morning. Would it be ok to run straight after a yoga session, or should I leave it?

Mind you there is also a chance that the end of class cool down relaxing bit may chill you so much you fall asleep then don't want to run anyway! Assume you will be OK to run and see how you feel

Assume you will be OK to run and see how you feel I am hoping that it should get me loosened up and ready for a run. I really don't know what to expect to be honest!

CK2 Jun 2024 7:43am, 17 Jun 2024 2,740 posts	0 CK2 Good to discover this thread. I find Adriene a bit much but quite enjoyed Kassandra - thanks for the recommendation Garfield. I mainly do Body Balance (yoga influenced!) but have done various videos over the years. I used to love Rodney Yee and while injured did injury yoga videos with Kim Saha, Move with James and Caroline Jordan.
