Thanks for tuning into Mike’s Yoga Podcast. Over the past year and a half, I’ve been running yoga classes over Zoom to a live group. These are hour-long sessions, and the podcast from now on will mainly be the recordings of those sessions. To join live, go to mikesyogapodcast.com and click on the link. Simple. If you have any health issues or injuries, it’s better to join a live class than use recordings, so do join in if you can. I’m releasing video sessions periodically on my YouTube channel, so give those a go as well - just search for MikesYogaPodcast on YouTube. Because these sessions are recorded live on Zoom, the audio quality isn’t always as brilliant as normal. But I hope you still love participating in these podcasts. If you have a bad back, you should practice caution in forward bending; avoiding coming forward too far. You can bring your hands onto a wall or a windowsill in uttanasana to prevent overworking a sensitive back. Nonetheless, you can still benefit from forward bends, even if you keep the torso at a right angle to the floor. You should be in good health - that doesn’t mean that you need to be flexible: that comes with time. Consult your doctor before you practice if you have any health concerns. And if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, I’d love it if you gave us a review and a star-score. Thanks. For more info and to join in for live, online classes, go to mikesyogapodcast.com Have a great session.
