In light of this discussion, wanted to share this message I saw on facebook. I used the Down Dog app for customized, modeled yoga while traveling for a year. Its a very cheap subscription, but they are offering it and their other apps for free until 1 Apr. Worth checking out.
"Dear Down Dog Community,
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many people are avoiding gathering in large groups, including at yoga studios and other fitness spaces. We believe that stressful times like these are precisely when people need wellness practices the most, and we are committed to doing our part to help out.
So that anyone who wants to practice at home can do so, we are making all of our apps - Down Dog, Yoga for Beginners, HIIT, Barre, and 7 Minute Workout - completely free until April 1st. You can learn more about all five of these apps at

If you are already subscribed, please help us spread the word and forward this along to anyone you think might benefit from free at-home fitness, and help us get this message to those who need it most.
We hope that everyone will stay healthy and safe in these uncertain times.
With love,
The Down Dog Team"
Edited to ad: I went to a yoga class at the gym yesterday. THe middleagers were at the class. BUt I noticed the stationary equip (bikes, ellipticals, rowers) were distinctly EMPTY. Theres normally a fair amount of eldsters that workout in this timeframe. NOt yesterday.
