Question: How Do I Pick a Type of Yoga and Get Started?
Answer: If you are brand new to yoga, you may want to take a few hatha classes to learn the basic poses. However, hatha is usually slow paced, so if you are the kind of person who likes to move around more, hatha may turn you off. Look here for a run down of some of the most popular kinds of yoga and then find a beginner's class in that style. Even if you are already in great shape, take a few beginner's classes to learn the poses and avoid the risk of injury. And while there are many great yoga books and videos available, there is no substitute from learning directly from a good teacher in a yoga class. I encourage you to find a class and let books and videos be a supplement.
