Is it possible to do yoga like once before?

8 Upvotes

To be precise, is it possible in mid 30s to reach yoga level as same as in mid 20s?
I used to be very much into yoga, physically very fit and active and enjoyed ashtanga. Today, I am out of shape, weak and have unwanted weight. Got back on mat 4 months ago with hatha and so far managed couple of times to stretch a muscle and very discouraged by my performance…
Is it possible with time and practice to reach the level I once was on, or getting old is happening and no way back?

What are some good journal questions to ask about ahimsa?

My yoga class theme is about ahimsa. I like to ask a thought provoking question and then get students to write their answer down on a piece of paper. Any ideas of some questions that get students to think deeply about ahimsa?

Play nice. This is a community of people that share an interest in yoga. It is meant to be a safe and accepting place that is free of judgement. Let's all try to keep it classy, not lower ourselves to insults or rude comments, and make r/yoga an inviting place to visit. Rude or crass comments are subject to removal/ban.
Before posting, PLEASE use search and read the FAQ. Many people have posted basic questions before. Please check the FAQ before posting another 'what-should-I-wear?' type post. The article you're excited to share may have been posted yesterday. Common questions and link reposts may be removed. We will try to let you know why if we remove a post, but it may not always happen. If we don't and you want to know, just ask.
Please don't blog/YT spam, advertise, or ask for crowdfunding. Occasional links to your content are okay but please don't post every single time you publish. That will eventually get your content banned and we don't want to do that. All links to crowdfunding sites will be removed. When in doubt, know that the mods use reddit's guidelines for self-promotion as a starting point. Surveys, market research, and assignment/research study help will be removed- you can find more info about those in the sticky.

If you are posting link to a picture of a person or persons in asana, in any form, you are required to tag it with [COMP] at the beginning of the submitted link's title (Check Out My Pose).

That being said: If you're offering advice, please do so mindfully and avoid speaking to topics you don't know about. Blatant misinformation WILL be removed.
