Lilias Folan: Start yoga anytime and find who you are.

I'm only 33 and I have found that my practice really only began when I completed my 200 hour teacher training in Hatha Yoga. Before that it was just going through the motions for me. I have found that as I grow with each stage of my life, my practice feels new. Especially because as you keep growing your perspective and dharma can change. There is much to look forward to with each practice. I expect that it will be this way even when I get up to my 60s 70s or whatever.

as an instructor of seniors, i find that in sense "permitting" them to feel each of their personal hurdles, emotional and physical, giving them the time to experience and slowly let go of their expectations... once this begins to occur, new pathways can and will begin to open for them within their own mind and body. patience and letting go of expectation are very important especially when beginning to practice (for any age) but with an older population with special needs or restrictions, gentle reminders at the start of practice to continue to honor where "you are today" so that frustration doesn't creep into the mind can be most important to keeping an individual focused in the present moment and look forward to where their path will go. keep trying karen Namaste

At 68 yrs young, I am a "newbie" at Yoga. I realize the obstacles Sr. Citizens face with the lack of exercise and want to "help". Getting to know myself has, indeed, been a wonderful journey. Your book "Yoga Gets Better With Age" was the first book I purchased from my wonderful teacher at Arkansas Yoga Center in Fayetteville. It has been such an inspiration to me. You are amazing! I look forward to a workshop with you. Thank you!
