Thanks, @margottaylor Now if I can just work up the confidence to be the newbie in a class I will go. I cannot stand for long on one foot, barely at all on right. All of the instructors at my club are very good about telling people to modify to meet their own abilities. I know nothing about Barre really and have presumed that it would be too much for me. I'm not in bad shape for my age, I go the gym at the club generally 3 days a week and do water aerobics another three days a week, but I am old (71) and went too many years being too sedentary and very overweight.

JK... I’m 72 and I can’t stand on one leg, and can barely stand on two legs, without my braces. You sound strong of mind to get your body doing the best it can. So I encourage you to start with whatever class or practice or teacher that really appeals to you. Harness your courage and ask your instructors HOW to safely modify a pose that’s not working and bit by bit you will find yourself an happy old yogi or Barre fanatic or Tai Chi convert. Just do it! You’re going to do great JK
