Yoga with Adriene? Anyone else?

[Miriam101]

I am so achey at the moment. Every day seems to bring a new pain or twinge. So thought I'd try some yoga. Have heard good things about this instructor and really enjoyed a first session this morning but wondered if it was ok to start yoga like this at home online, with noone to actually check I'm doing it right? Half the time I had no idea. I remember a yogi friend of mine saying that you can do real damage to your body by doing the poses and stretches wrong/badly aligned.

I'd love to hear what experienced yogis think and if anyone has learned properly from Adriene or another online teacher.

I have a yoga centre literally at the end of my road so I know I should combine online with in-person once a week just to check I'm on the right track... but that would involve getting my arse out of the house on a Sunday morning.....

I've practiced for ten years, I would always say go to a studio, it's just a better experience as it's a huge task learning the physical side of a yoga practice, it's also just one part of it. It's also nice to support instructors, it takes a lot to train ☺️

Thanks for replying. I will sign up for the beginners class at my local studio, and complement with a bit of Adriene!
