Yoga isn't about getting a tight ass, though that's just an added bonus. Yoga is way to align our actions with our intentions and be fully present. This is mindfulness and self-awareness. Yes, I would dare say that my yoga practice has helped prevent countless injuries from other activities, but it has also been an amazing tool to realize what I actually can do, in spite of being injured. It also helps make you more content when navigating life's ups and downs by practicing non-attachment.
So, this is my take away for you - come to yoga when you feel down or are injured (that is with approval from your doctor). Shoot me a quick message if there is something I should know about in advance. I can work with you to safely modify the practice as you begin to move more mindfully, while listening to your intuition. You can even do savasana (corpse pose) or stay in restorative poses if you'd like! I once went to a yoga class while stressed out in grad school and stayed in savasana for 80% of the class because that is what I needed! It was awesome.
Take care!
