I do not practice yoga. I've gone to a few classes but never consistently. I love being active and found some yoga classes too boring for me. I tried Bikram which was good for a few months then I got bored with the same sequence. I went to my first class today at Yoga Nirvana and cannot believe how pleased I am. The flow through the poses was challenging yet not impossible. The instructor was extremely helpful- he didn't draw attention to me yet gave advice and aid when I needed it. He was extremely friendly when I first walked in as were the other participants in the class. I've walked in to other yoga studios and there's an "air" about the people that I didn't like. I had a great workout this morning but also felt a deep stretch and a calmness to my mind- 3 things that I think are difficult to find in one class. I also thought the instructor had a perfect balance between talking and not talking. Some instructors never shut up and others guide through the poses but don't provide anything else. Today's class was perfect. I highly recommend Yoga Nirvana to any newbie looking to try yoga!
