This is my first experience with yoga. I tried the introductory package, liked it and have been going for about a year. I find the Sumit practice very well-rounded. It is a really good strength and flexibility program for a person in a chair-bound job like mine. I read the reviews about the rude instructor. I guess I have been lucky enough to not encounter him. All the teachers I have met have been very nice and supportive. I even took my 11 year old daughter a few times, and the teachers were considerate and helpful towards her.
