Yoga To Open

I love that part of the Ashtanga tradition is the belief that ancient holy men "invented" the yoga flow to strengthen them and open them up so that they could sit comfortably and with ease as they meditated. I love doing Ashtanga in the morning and ending with an extra long period of meditation and pranayama. There's nothing like it.

I'm going to begin my search for a Yoga class today. Anything I should be aware of before I do?

Hi Dee!
Sorry I haven't checked this blog forever!

Advice: look around at different studios and classes. Avoid judging yoga with your first, or even fifth, class. It takes time. Each class and teacher is totally different. So look for something that fits.
