For the budget-minded yogi, practicing at home might
be a better option than a studio-based class, although The
Yoga House also offers classes on a donation basis. Both
home-based and studio-based yoga practices have their
own advantages. In class, you can feel more focused and
motivated, working in a room full of like-minded people. At
a studio, instructors are present to provide guidance and
assistance.
Practicing from home goes beyond just being
cost-effective. Many yoga classes are an hour long, which a
busy lifestyle doesn’t always accommodate. At home I can
do yoga in fifteen minute increments whenever I have time.
I also get to listen to whatever music I like, and my dog
Franklin seems at least curious, if not calmed, by my
movements. I can work at my own pace and don’t feel
pressured to switch to a different pose, or I don’t feel
discouraged if I can’t quite nail something and everyone
else can.
The WiiFit and Youtube do the trick for me, and I really
love the upper body yoga movements and yoga in a chair
practice. From work to home, those work the best for me.
The beauty of it is, yoga has something to offer absolutely
everyone - young to old, physically fit to the not-so-fit - get
out there and see what yoga has to offer you.
Types of Yoga
Ashtanga: a traditional, but rigorous, yoga
practice that repeats the moves in
the same order every time
Bikram: “hot” yoga, and takes place in
artificially heated rooms
Iyengar: focuses on extremely specific and
proper alignment, taking time to
perfect each pose
Restorative: uses blankets and boxes to prop
participants in specific poses
Vinyasa: often set to music and
choreographed, with less routine
than traditional yoga
Acro: combines yoga and acrobatics
