Yoga for Beginners

Here are three videos from Yogatic - Yoga for Beginners…
I haven’t been getting enough exercise lately and my joints are getting stiff. I used to do yoga years ago so when I found these YouTube videos I thought I would give yoga another try.
Part 1 - These movements were completed without too much difficulty the main problem was in trying to look at the video while doing the moves but easier the second time as I knew what to expect.
Part 2 – Triangle pose and extended side-angle pose from mountain pose are a bit more difficult for someone as unfit as I am. Most difficulty in the triangle pose when extending my arm upward – I have had frozen shoulders and still don’t have a full range of movements but I stretched as much as I could. My muscles complained a little bit.
Part 3 - I managed this until I went into plank, had great difficulty in keeping straight but no real problems with anything else.
I plan to work through these 3 videos for a couple of weeks before I look to take yoga any further. I plan to be more supple and ‘bendy’ before the end of the year.
