I haven’t been blogging about yoga much

That’s something I’m looking to change very soon. But in looking for a particular yoga place out here, my google search led me to this link. All I really have to say about that is “BULLSHIT.”

As a teacher with more than 200 hours of training and certification, AND as someone who TAUGHT at a gym, the bottom line is that any class is only as good as your confidence in (and comfort with) the teacher. If you are a beginning student, I’ve posted about good ways to begin your practice and find a good class but ultimately every student has different needs.

I’ll break it down in bullets:

1. Call the gym/studio and ask about the classes. They’ll be honest.

2. If you feel uncomfortable in/during a class, tell the instructor.

3. NOTHING SHOULD BE PAINFUL.

4. Ask the teacher about their training/certifications.

5. Ask other students.
