Friday Q A Whats Your Yoga Story


Woman in a Bookshop by Aubrey Beardsley
Every once in a while we turn the tables on our readers here at Yoga for Healthy Aging, and instead of answering a reader’s question, we ask a question ourselves. Today, because Baxter and Nina are starting to write a sample chapter for our Yoga for Healthy Aging book, we’d like to ask you to tell us something about yourselves.

Q: How old were you when you started practicing yoga? And what kinds of benefits have you seen from your practice?

A: We know your stories will inspire us! So write your answer in a comment, post it on our Facebook page, or send an email to Nina: nina at wanderingmind dot com.

Nina shared part of her yoga story in her post Yoga for Emotional Wellbeing: An Epiphany earlier this week.
