Friday Morning Yoga for beginners?
My husband and I are in our 50's and looking for a beginner yoga class to keep us limber and help improve our health - anyone know of a Friday morning yoga class in the East Bay that would be a fit? TIA!

I highly recommend Adeline Yoga in Berkeley. They have both in person and online classes, with plenty of options for those of us in our 50s!
Not a morning class, (it's at 12pm every day), but I love Outdoor Yoga Berkeley. They meet in Ohlone park, it's donation based, the practices and instructors are gentle and you're outside enjoying the fresh air while doing it. Very easy to drop in and try it out, no registration or anything needed, just show up. And on Fridays, Lincoln, one of the instructors, often plays saxophone at the end of practice.

I love Yoga Kula. There's a "gentle yoga" Friday morning class, which is a wonderful way to start the day. The teachers are great about making everyone feel comfortable, no matter their experience level, body type, etc. They do both in-person and online. https://www.yogakula.com/
The Green Yogi is a great studio and my friend Matt does an awesome yoga class on Friday mornings at their MLK location in Berkeley. Check out "Playful Flow" on the schedule here: https://www.mygreenyogi.com/mlk-schedule
yogaroomberkeley is Iyengar style, which is great for beginners.Uses props and teachers offer a lot of detail about alignment so you don't overdo it when you're first starting out. You could do the level 1-3 with Mary Lou at noon.If you have absolutely no prior experience then you'd probably want an intro to yoga series so you have some familiarity with terms and props.
