In my attempt to make some life and health changes I've signed up for a class at a yoga studio tonight. I'm nervous...I'm way out of shape and not the most graceful of people. Does anyone else go? How do you like it? Any tips? Do you feel like it helps you overall? 20 questions I know. ;)

Thanks!!

i :love: yoga...give yourself 6 weeks to really give it a go, learn the poses, etc. don't be discouraged if there are really flexible folks in class, you are doing this for you. it's a great way to work on your flexibility, tone muscles, work your 'core' muscles and at the same time take an hour to let your mind destress......enjoy

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it.

Does anyone have any Yoga DVD suggestions?

I hope this helps some about a suggestion for a Yoga DVD (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1750174).
There was discussion of this on the Events side a while back.

It didn't! I got there and it was cancelled. :(
I did some basic stuff upstairs at work yesterday for lunch, but I definitely need a DVD. Thanks for the link in the other reply, I'm going to check it out now.

The Yoga studio I found has classes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights along with Saturday mornings. Each class is different but they said all fine for a beginner. I'm hoping this works out.

Thanks again :)
