yeah it's amazing, my hawaiian print yoga mat makes it all the more fun :)

What kind of yoga class did you go to? I go to Kundalini on Thursdays, I want to start Bikrams.

I want to start! I'm insanely flexible and it seems like it would be a lot of fun. What's a good style to get started with?

ooh ooh oooh. heh.

I love yoga. I had a course last semester that involved yoga, but this semester there's no more yoga for our program:(. I am one of the most flexible people in my class, and I freaked people out when I did the backward nameste (?sp??) hehe. I got a very cool yoga book for christmas though! But I really want to eventually take a class...I say eventually, because I don't know how busy this semester is going to be yet.

I'd get started with Hatha, Hatha focuses on a bunch of specific poses and alternates them.
If you want to focus more on breathing try Kundalini..
once you get a bit more used to it and if you like it enough you could try Ashtanga which is more intense.

downtown

gathering place on helmcken st.

membership costs 1 dollar, well worth it, interesting mix of people

but due to the prices, you need to show up like an hour before class to be able to do it

but like..1 dollar!!!

yoga is very fun. But it's fun, relaxing and a good workout, which is a good mix. you feel so great when your done. Pilaties(spelling?) is something that i would like to try though.

yoga ... thing is i had so much energy i was up super late and didn't get a lot of sleep, but i did get good sleep.

i tried yoga and i don't like at as much as pilates.
i do pilates 3-5 times a week at the gym and also at home with my yoga mat and ball.
it's not only relaxing, but if you're desiring long and lean muscles you can achieve this with pilates. it's great!

being that i dont have a ton of money right now ... im trying yoga first ... but i do want to try pilates!!

Aki · #18 (**permalink**) Jan 10, 04

you don't need a ton of money to do it
i bought a book which included a dvd and then i got a mat and a ball. i don't go to classes, i just know how to do the exercises. When i do my regular work out at the gym, i do a lot of pilates as well.
it's very easy to learn
