I get a lot of brand new students to yoga in my current location. I know that people can get frustrated with any new type of exercise or activity, especially something that takes patience, courage, and discipline. I think that for some reason, we have these expectations of ourselves that make us think that if we don't fit the mold that something is amiss. Maybe it stems from our culture and the madness in our marketing, but regardless - yoga will test you in many ways. The physical practice is just one. |

I hear this question alot. In general my opinion and my answer is "as often as possible, but a little is better than none". It's like any other form of exercise or sport...the more you do it, the better you get or the more progress you will see. But for some reason people want to hear a number, a target, or some sort of formula that will lead to yoga bliss. If genie's granted wishes...
Bare minimum: 1 day per week. Once a week is a good way to offset or cross train for whatever else you do for fitness or sports. |

Chaturanga Dandasana.Otherwise known as the yogi
push-up. We (yoga nerds) always talk about proper alignment and using
the muscles in your back to support the posture instead of using your
shoulders and chest muscles. Well...the question is: How the hell do you
do that, it's a push-up right?
 This pose is a challenge for nearly every practitioner at some point
in their practice, so if you are new, don't get discouraged. And if you
have been practicing for a while and still don't have it figured
out. |

 If you think that you shouldn't set foot in a yoga class because you aren't flexible, then yoga is exactly what you shouldbe doing. Yoga is strengthening and stretching at the same time. Each pose is an isometric exercise, and flexibility is simply one of the many positive by-products of the practice. In other words, you don't have to be flexible beforeyou start practicing yoga. You just need an open mind and a yoga mat.
It may seem at first glance that yoga is about flexibility, because of all the 'show-off' pictures that you see. |

You've never set foot in a yoga class...and you aren't sure what to expect? Well, I thought I'd give you the low-down before you get there. Here are the bare essentials that you need to know:
1. Try not to eat within 2 hrs of class. I seriously hear a lot of people worried about embarrassing bodily functions. If you don't eat before class you'll be fine. |

I taught my first two yoga classes here in Batavia this week, and I really enjoyed it. Actually I had fun. At the beginning of class, we chanted Om three times. I know that that the Monday night class had a few people in there that had never attended a yoga class or chanted Om, so it was a new thing to try. Before we started, I talked a little bit about why it was an important practice, but I felt like getting a little more technical for this blog post. Not only that, but I serendipitously came across an |
