Subject: RE: YOGA ?? There was a very detailed discussion about this on ST a few months ago--lots of people posted links they liked. You may find that helpful. I taught both yoga and pilates for many years, and I think incorporating them into your S/B/R training can be really helpful. I still do work like this 3-5x/week. I STRONGLY encourage you to take some classes with a teacher first to learn how to do the poses correctly and safely. It may only take 10-20 hours with an instructor to get comfortable with some poses and then you can do them at home, whenever you want, in whatever you want, listening to whatever kind of music you like:) Many studios have an "unlimited" trial period of a week or two--for $20-$30 you can take as many classes as you want in the given time period to see if the studio is a good fit. If you have a couple of studios in your area, I would recommend doing a trial period at each of them. Even "bad" teachers can teach you something, and you'll inevitably find one that is a good fit for you. Then, even if you do a majority of your practice at home, you still have a teacher you can check in with once and a while if you have questions or if you just want to take a class here and there. Good luck :) |
