| - My first Passport visit of the season!
Maybe I've been to too many yoga studios over the last year, and I've been really picky about the studio and the instruction and I have really come to like the Moksha series. That being said, this is not what they do here.
I don't recommend the Hot Hour for beginners at all. There is no demo at the front, and is purely instructional. You'll need to follow the folks in front of you, and if you don't know what a Chatarunga is, you might hurt yourself trying to look at others while doing it.
I'm always nervous about beginners doing yoga because if the teacher is not step by step going through the way to get into a pose, one might hurt themselves, but they don't always realize it.
Kula is different from the other studios. They place music. Instructors like to have fun. You go into the room and there is chit chat before and after. The room doesn't get as hot as other hot yoga places.
And today, we did partner work. We were asked to partner and help the other person get into a handstand.
The point was to show how we can push ourselves to the edge. But I was so scared to see anyone get injured, and remember you signed a waiver when you first came into class. I'm just saying.
I would really suggest as a beginner to yoga, check out a regular Ashtanga, Hatha, Moksha or Bikram series type classes so you can get some consistency and understand the poses before coming to a class here.
If you're already well versed, you're in for a treat, because this is something different and a nice insert into your regular practice.
