I’m a single man in my late 40s in good shape looking to add yoga and Tai Chi to my routine.
I’ve found several promising Tai Chi locations. Local YMCAs list Tai Chi, but it sounds like those are all in the pool?? I’ll stop by the local Y and check it out.
Beyond that, I looked for a beginner yoga studio and found one that looked good until I saw they charged nearly $200 - not per year but per month! And mats and towels were extra! I guess some people enjoy throwing money away.
I could put that $2000/year into my IRA and just watch YouTube instruction, I guess.
Does anyone have recommendations for good beginner yoga classes? I’m in northwest Austin and could do Four Corners to Cedar Park.
Thanks!
I went on my first hike on River Place Nature Trail at Canyon trailhead near 2222 today and loved it! It was a beautiful morning and this was a very scenic trail.
I’ve done a lot of hiking across many states over the years but I’ve never encountered so many nice and polite people as I did on today’s hike! Almost everyone greeted each other, showed proper trail etiquette, and I passed a couple of locals having a nice discussion with visitors about the trail.
Sure, some of this happens on many trails, but not every person like today. I’m going to like it here!
