Beginners Yoga
Getting into yoga is kind of a daunting task. There's so many options out there that I don't even know where to begin. Should I go to classes, watch dvds, or try out the Wii Fit? I am overwhelmed...
Who has done yoga before? How did you get into it? What's the best way to start as a beginner?
Please include some mention of the cost of each method too. Thanks.
The benefit of going to a class, is you can speak to the instructor first and tell them its your first time and ask them to keep an eye on you. A good instructor will do their best to help you properly execute the pose so you're gaining the most benefit and not hurting yourself. However, be prepared that in a class you will be touched by your instructor. They will help position your body, so if you don't like being touched - classes probably aren't right for you at all.
I would say to avoid a Bikram Yoga class your first time out the gate as yoga can be quite challenging and adding the element of a 100 degree room with 40% humidity may turn you off.
