@artscaping, @mostlybill- I appreciate your comments on restorative yoga. My wife participates in the same at our local fitness center and has encouraged me to also participate in the men's class. I've been somewhat turned off from what my my wife has shared with me in what the philosophies that seem to be promoted in these classes where as she seems to be able to tune those things out and focus on the restorative aspects of yoga. She is very different in that way than me, but perhaps there is hope as in both your posts I'm not hearing that yours promotes eastern philosophies but more the restorative aspects of yoga?
I'd be very open to hear your recommendations as I consider finding a yoga class to participate in. Thanks much! Jim@thankful

My current yoga classes offer no Eastern Philosophy. There are many choices for all levels--Gentle stretching, core-strength, restorative yoga. All classes encourage modifying each exercise based on ability and preference. I do plan on attending a class on meditation at a Buddhist center which I imagine will have a focus on Buddhist philosophy. While all of my current classes include a period for meditation, the time allowed for this is short. It has taken me several years to achieve the ability to sustain the relaxation response in meditation and I hope to bee able to bring more of this into my daily life to help with coping with the drugs I need to take since my liver transplant. I am approaching this with an open mind.
