I have really wanted to learn yoga for quite some time now. The problem is this, I live in a very VERY small town. There are no classes near me. The closest I could find are over an hour an a half away from me. I have looked at quick clips on YouTube and I really love the flow of it. My issues are these, my town’s library is practically non-existent. They don’t even have one book on yoga at all. My local book store will order books, but I’m not sure where to start. I bought one, very old, yoga tape (VHS-lol) and it is a quick one with just some of the basic poses. My biggest challenge is how I learn. I have always been a visual learner and do SO much better when I am watching someone else and having them tell me what to do. My thing is that I want to learn, but I don’t know what poses to do and in what succession to do them in. I hope I am explaining this right lol. It’s like I need that constant teacher right in front of me until I really get it. I don’t understand how to be fluid if I don’t know where to start. I feel confused and honestly a little silly for asking this. I feel like it should be natural or something…even that sounds silly. Anyway, can anyone recommend any good DVD’s that I could purchase via book store or maybe even Amazon? I am obviously a beginner. I think I am pretty average. I think I could lose about 15-20 pounds, not everyone agrees, but I say a person looks hotter with clothes on then when they are standing in front of the mirror naked sometimes-lol. I am pretty flexible and I used to be a dancer.I have pretty decent balance, but would like to improve that. My only health issue is GERD, so I can’t really do poses that keep bent over or upside down for more then a minute or so at a time. I am a healthy eater and all, just want to start yoga to maybe shed a little weight…but mostly to clear my head and reduce my stress level. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thank you!!
