Start reading yoga books, look up videos online, you can just practice at home. Yoga is all about practice anyway. Like 99% practice and 1% knowledge. I practice at home and I get a lot out of it!
there are also lot of free lessons you can find online. Some sites I have run across that have good information and teachings are www tureyayoga com and www dlshq org (I put spaces because it wont allow me to post a url). Both are free and have great resources.
Aum
yes, yog is a one big market these days…essentially against the very purpose of Yog.
Poor Saints never thought that the Science that they reflected and gave to humans, following the Lord’d Orders, would one day be billion $ business. They gave this esoteric science to the public without any expectation as they got it as a gift from Bhagavān. And the ‘intlligent’ humans started filling their pocket outta it…
Anyway, well we at Jagadguru Kripalu Yog have got some classes around several US and many more coming up…we are not into hardcore Aṣṭāṅga Yog…we are into the Divine Bhakti Yog, culminating Āsanas, Prāṇāyām and Dhyān…
If you are really sincere just mail me your place of living and i will inform you the rest as to how to contact these folks…there are no charges for joining in…
Actually My Guru is currently on a US Tour…please check his US itinerary at
jkyog.org/events.html
and see if you can attend. He is offering the 7 days sessions Free.
one unsolicited advice if you are really serious about yog, don’t learn it yourself or through books or dvds…yog is a science. it is much more than physical exercises…it is not a DIY learning tool.
Thank you for your time.
Your Servant,
Sadāśiv Dās
Plenty of good advice in this thread.
Local to me is a yoga class that only costs AU$2. If you look hard enough in your local area, you will probably find a yoga class at a more budget price
DVD’s aren’t bad but the main benifit of having a teacher is that they can correct you if you are doing a pose wrong. And doing poses right is very important because you can possibly end up hurting yourself and or you will never get the calming benifts of the yoga poses
Hope This Helps,

Great websites!!! Lot of interesting reading material. Lots to learn. Thank you very much for sharing.
Here we could really open up a discussion about money and yoga!
For me if it’s something I should be doing and I’m open enough to receive it the money comes…
This is very interesting and sort of plays with the idea that money does grow on trees… hahahhaha
Anyone got any further thought about this?
I really appreciate what Louise Hay has to say about it, and positive thinking in general.
Here you can find a nice and lively debate on this forum on the topic of money and yoga. Perhaps you would like to add your views there?
Thanks pandara, I’ll have a read though 
Hi there,
just type in “art of living yoga sun salutation” in google. The first result will solve your purpose. Sun salutation (Surya Namaskar) is a great Yoga exercise and is substitute to all the other yoga exercises. do 10-15 rounds per day to stay fit mentally and physically!
I actually started from a DVD, I did watch it about 50 times before I actually started practicing. I used Babara Curries DVD and I have to say she was good as an Instructor on DVD.
I also save money for other things. I go on YOUTUBE.com and watch videos.
I buy Yoga books and I have books from the library.
DVD’s are a good option.
I believe that Yoga is something you can learn if you have a computer, books and alot of motivation.
A class may be helpful, but I have been learning on my own and I had some serious back injury and it has cleared up. I am in very good shape right now and even doing front limbers which is a gymnastics exercise.
I would be encouraged and don’t feel hopeless at all without classes. I am getting in good shape with excellent books. Some are better then others.
I love books because I get tired of sitting in front of computers of machines.
Good Luck, Marissa Lize Etienne
