Yoga

Tell me more about yoga

I need to improve posture, suppleness & my back muscles and reading up on yoga it seems to be the answer

Is it overly spiritual? as I don't think that bit would do it for me, or does it come as a package

It will be good for back, posture, flexibility, toning and general well-being. Most classes aren't spiritual and just trendy.

Or pilates, have done both, find pilates more effective.

Yoga can come in all shapes and sizes (just like those attending). Shop around and try out a few classes or speak to the instructor first.

Stuff like ashtanga which is quite, well, vigourous, may not be for you, but normal hatha yoga should be fine.

I wouldn't say I'm a particularly spiritual person, but have been doing yoga for years now and have seen a lot of benefit from it. Its great for flexibility, balance and core strength.

Thanks, will have a look at hatha, want something very gentle considering current movement

Did Bikram yoga a couple of years back. An hour and half of present positions in a 40 degree c studio. I nearly passed out the first time I went and I consider myself pretty fit.
