I still have a bunch of classes that I’ve paid for so starting next week, I’ll be moving back to working evenings so I’m going to try to go for two day classes a week, which I think will be more convenient than the weekend classes. Hopefully. (Different time, shorter class, etc.)
My new roommate also has a Yoga DVD that has a 15 minute work out. I think I’m going to try getting in the habit of doing that, or something like that, before I go to bed every (or as much as I can) night. I think it will help with my sleeping problems.
How to practice Yoga
How I did it: I went to a class with a friend. It was really hard at first but I was drawn to it. I go to a class once a week, but in the meantime I bought a DVD to practice at home. I found a great one that has an A.M. and P.M. practice. It is only 15 minutes in the morning and 20 in the evening so that works for me. Now I can't imagine a day without yoga.
Lessons & tips: Just stick with it, the benefits are surprising in ways I didn't expect.
Resources: I bought a DVD produced by Gaiam, AM and PM yoga.

my husband and i are taking an intro to yoga course right now. we are 1/2 through it. its really great to go to it after work and relax. we are trying to practice it at home at least 2 or 3 times a week.
Really having trouble finding the time for this :(. However, Come mid November one of my more draining activities goes away then I just need to decide on going to a class or just buying some DVDs. Any suggestions on DVDs?

I have begun practicing yoga on a regular basis. It is my saving grace. I am still advancing but the fact that it has become a part of my day to day activities is quite fulfilling.
congrats to all who practice the beautiful art of yoga

Yippeee!! I signed up for yoga class today! I can’t wait!
ooooommmmmmmmmmmmm
This is so far a success! I’ve been going to yoga classes at our rec center regularly since the first week of September. Absolutely loving it. I’m really getting such a good feel for the practice. I think it’s easy to be drawn to it (especially for me) because you can never fully master yoga. There’s always room for growth and improvement…something I’m constantly working at!

I’ve started getting up earlier, but last night I totally blew it off by staying up till midnight cleaning the house! But I’m going to start a new work out routine in October becuase getting into the hang of school turned out to be harder than I thought!
I have done yoga before and it makes me feel really good about myself. Makes me feel healthy and flexible.

“I tried Kundalini for the first time today. The fast breathing makes me lightheaded. Am I supposed to be getting a full breath? How is that possible when you are hyperventilating? Thanks for any guidance.”
