Videos for older person getting into yoga?

Does anyone have any recommendations for YouTube videos or some type of online video program I could follow to help regain flexibility now that I’m over 50? All my life I was pretty athletic and really could do basically anything without any ill effect. But now suddenly I’m finding myself stiff and achy. I blame the pandemic! Would love to regain the ability to move around effortlessly, as much as possible anyway. Thanks in advance! I do see a lot of programs being discussed here, I’m trying to filter through for some thing specifically aimed for older people.

Hip pain when doing crescent lunge

Hi, i've been a casual yoga fan but lately i've been doing a challenge of doing 12 sun salutations every single day (been going for about a month). I do these, plus some other stretches like lizard, pigeon, some seated and lying positions, etc. In the last 3 or 4 sessions i've been experiencing an odd hip pain. It mainly is noticeable during crescent lunge. Previously when I did crescent lunge I would feel a nice, pleasant stretch along the top of my back leg. Now instead, I get a sharp pain in the front of my hip, again on the back leg. I'm not sure why it's suddenly uncomfortable. I am pretty sure my alignment is right. Should I stop doing this pose, or keep doing it, or take a break altogether to let my body adjust? Same pain is also noticeable if I try and do a high kick (on the leg that is still standing).

Yawning during yoga?

I have an odd question that I haven’t come across anyone understanding. Does anyone else yawn A LOT during your yoga practice? I usually practice in the evening and am quite awake - so it’s not as if I just woke up. Sometimes it can be constant during my session, maybe releasing tension? Wanted to see if anyone related.

Shaking during poses

Hello! I've been doing yoga for just over 6 months now. Morning and evening yoga, and I have grown quite flexible and comfortable in the poses. However, since the first day, I noticed that during certain poses like a wide-legged forward fold, my legs begin to shake. I've tried being more loose, thinking that it's because I was stretching my muscles out too much and that they were just too tight telling me to calm down. But, they still shake. I am unsure why but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or if people have any tips on how to work around or with it, or, totally get past it?
