Yoga classes are usually very basic, and it's hard to find ones for advanced practitioners. If you're that inflexible that you can't follow a standard yoga class, which I doubt since yoga is inclusive and the instructor should have blocks and blankets to make the moves easier, then you could try a gentle stretching class (for rehab, seniors, however they bill it).

That's ... really not true at all. There are many, many bad yoga teachers and classes in DC, where they emphasize speed and doing a million "vinyasas," not form, and certainly not assuming that there are new beginners who need to be guided on modifications.  And FYI, the issue is not being "inflexible" (because you can be an advanced yogi and still not be that flexible, seeing as flexibility is an inborn trait that people have to varying degrees) but rather understanding your body and the shapes it can get into safely.  Plus, there's just learning and skill involved to follow the poses.  [/quote]
