    Yoga should definitely help you. I think all styles would improve your flexibility, so I'd focus on finding a style that suits you.

    Prices in your area may vary from the Dublin prices I'm used to. Price also tends to vary with the frequency which with you practice e.g., a 8 class card may be €120, but a 10 class card could be €140. On average, a drop-in class could be between €15-20, and a six-week course between €85-90.

    Happy bending!

    Any exercise incorporating stretching improves your flexibility - I've been doing a lot of up-hill walking and various types of classes: yoga, pilates, dance, aerobics, and by god the flexibility I had as a youngling 20 years ago doing gymnastics and dance (and I was pretty flexible - sh1te co-ordination and balance, but bendy as hell :pac:) is really returning with a vengeance! :)
