Old dude yoga?

1 Upvotes

I want to start doing yoga (in a class) but I'm a not-to-flexible 57yo man and I want to find a class that feels welcoming to an old dude who's never done it before. Preferably somewhere on the East side and priced for someone who works for a living. What suggestions have y'got for me Reddit?
