    I’m super out of shape, have hypermobility in some joints and have a touch of social anxiety. I’ve always been curious about yoga and feel like I could benefit from it. Can you recommend any ways for me to get started to ease my way into it?

      You don’t actually need anything to start, but a yoga mat helps. If you’re in a major city and it doesn’t make you too anxious, there might be yoga in the park. Your best bet is a real yoga expert who can see what you’re doing wrong and offer advice, usually as part of a group in a studio. If you can’t afford that, then you can probably begin with YouTube. Wear stretchy clothes, like for sports.
