Look What I Found!
I started to do some research on my driving question: What are the benefits of doing yoga for middle-aged adults? I found a series of articles entitled, Advice on Practicing Yoga in Middle Age. There are three parts to this specific article and it can be found in the New York Times, which I consider to be a credible source and can trust using as part of my research. I simply searched "practicing yoga as a middle aged adult" and it was one of the links to appear. The fact that there were three separate articles to this one topic is what intrigued me as a reader. The format of the article began with a personal anecdote from Dr. Loren Fishman, the author of the article. He then continued by inserting a Q & A portion where adults over 40 were able to ask any yoga-related questions and inquiry. Additionally, I also stumbled upon another blog simply titled, Middle Aged Yoga, written by a 50 + year old man in pursuit of healthy living and lifestyle which includes practicing yoga. I thought his strengths came from his personal stories and pictures of him actually doing some yoga poses to illustrate his success.

Good start to your research! I enjoyed the brief synopsis that you gave about the article you read. I wish to see further evidence and research as to your actual driving question, which is the benefit of yoga to middle aged individuals. New YorkTimes has produce a lot of stories on this topic that I think you should check out. Overall, I think this is a great topic to discuss and further analyze.
