[quote=Anonymous]Do you belong to a gym now? Or a YMCA? If so, I would recommend talking to the head or the group exercise director and telling them that you're interested in starting as a beginner. Many yoga classes can be scaled up or down in difficulty, and good teachers know how to help beginners. If you don't belong to a gym, I'd ask for word-of-mouth recommendation from friends (esp. female friends) and maybe even your physician. You'd want a studio that offers a beginner class and isn't geared toward very vigorous styles. Don't even try hot yoga until you've practiced non-hot yoga for a while. (This means NOT Corepower. I like them but they're a little intense.) If the names of the styles intimidate you, look for vinyasa or yin. Avoid ashtanga for now -- it's more intense. You could also look up yoga videos on YouTube to start getting some background. I would just search "yoga for beginners" and maybe "20 minutes" and see what you find. Good luck! [/quote]
