Definitely best to work with an instructor first, so you get help with proper alignment. Instructors can make adjustments based on your level of fitness/flexibility, and will help you feel successful.

Welcome and have fun!

I'm 50 and definitely need to become flexible and it would be nice to wear a non-XL shirt again. Heard so many good things about Yoga and its benefits with core strength and overall well being. I get easily frustrated with learning new things especially if everyone around me is killing it. Is it better to get private tutor to learn the correct posture/poses or are there classes that cater to beginners?

Live in Falls Church and work in Herndon, so either would work well for recommendations. Should I go to youtube/videos first or best that I start from scratch at a facility or trainer?

I'm not trying to adopt a lifestyle change, just want to be stronger and more flexible. Thanks for suggestions.
