NEW TO YOGA?
Yoga is one of the most ancient,
sacred traditions known to mankind and every decade or so we seem to "re-discover" it. Today yoga is enjoying yet
another renaissance as Western doctors encourage the practice for stress reduction and celebrities glamorize it with their
supple bodies. It doesn't matter why you practice yoga or what you hope to achieve-- yoga is both the means and the goal!
Over the past few years, several different branches of yoga have emerged. There are very slow, focused practices and
there are rapid, flowing classes. There are gentle, restorative classes and there are classes that are as rigorous as any
aerobics class.
There is Hatha, Viniyoga, Kundalini, JivaMukti, Iyengar and Anusara yoga, to name only a few. Then there
are yoga hybrid classes like Power Yoga and Yogilates. (Yeah, I think it sounds like that, too. I'll have a half-decaf. yogilate
with milk, please)
If you've never done yoga before then Hatha is a great place to start as it will give you the
core program. Contact the Yoga Alliance or do a websearch for your area (yoga + your town). It doesn't matter where you live,
you'll be able to find a good instructor in your town. I've taken yoga classes all over the country over the past ten years
and I've never had a bad class. Yoga instructors love what they do and have a sincere desire to serve others.
Don't
be afraid to try yoga-- no matter what kind of shape you're in. You will be treated with kindness and respect.

Yoga is the art and science of self-healing-- it fundamentally enhances
the body, mind and spirit.
