This doesn't make this "exercise" any less useless in terms of actual training value.

It's really not. In fact, it creates unnecessary risk to flyover a densely populated area for no reason other than to perform a low rent (high expense) fireworks show.

Just saw the other post about commercial gyms and that’s probably a valid point - I haven’t joined a big gym in many years. Most small strength or yoga studios I’ve been to offer single classes or class packages so your commitment is just the classes you sign up to do. Don’t be afraid to try a few different places to find one you like.

Most yoga studios have some sort of beginner level type class (at least pre-Covid - not sure if they are back to full schedules yet). I would start by looking up studios in your area and just calling to ask. I have been on and off over the years in multiple cities and never felt out of place. They generally provide modifications to help you build up to poses you aren’t yet ready for. Also there is usually someone else in a similar place in their journey so you’re not alone.

At home is also an option but I would keep in mind that a studio with an instructor or a private lesson can give you more real time feedback and help identify areas of focus. In both yoga and traditional strength training it can be easy to fall into poor form and possibly injure yourself especially if you are new to it or try to progress too quickly.
