if anyone would like to help:<br><br>1. There seems

to be so many styles or forms of Yoga. What's the

best way for a beginner to go about finding the most

flexible. I'd like to develop co-ordination, balance,

mental focus, strength, power(I'd like yoga to

supplement my martial arts practice), and I want to live to

be 100(or more) :o)<br><br>2. Any suggestions before

I go out and buy a practice mat? Brand names,

"There seems to be so many styles or forms of

Yoga. What's the best way for a beginner to go about

finding the most suitable one?" <br><br>Check them out

for yourself. Preferably by attending some classes.

You sound like a good candidate for Ashtanga, which

in my opinion is best suited to people who are

pretty fit to begin with. If there are not Ashtanga

classes around, maybe some type of "power yoga" would be

useful. Iyengar yoga is also some very serious asana

practice. You can learn alot just by looking around on the

web. There are also books and videos. But you really

should check out some classes if you can. And sometimes

a good teacher is more important than the type of

yoga. <br><br>I recommend subscribing to Yoga Journal.

You can find it at any large newstand.<br><br>You can

also learn a lot looking through the archives at this

club. For some reason it seems to be the most serious

and active of the online yoga forums. Like with any

such forum, there may be some noise in the

signal..........<br><br>"Any suggestions before I go out and buy a practice

mat? Brand names, material, etc"<br><br>The standard

"sticky mat" is probably $15-$30 and available through

many websites and yoga studios. I think I've seen them

at department stores such as Target. There is a

heavy-duty mat that many people like, known as "the black

mat". It is expensive ($65). I have not used one. You

can get it here: <a href=http://www.yogacentre.com

people use some type of rug and many people combine a

rug and a sticky mat.

There does not exist the best form of yoga, you

have to try and you have to find the form that suits

best for you. Take a look in the books or go to

classes. We of cours recommend ashtanga-yoga (or, for

people who don't want such fighting, Iyengar-Yoga). Read

my book-advice 8525, and compare this book with

others - then take your choice. Good luck - and ask

again! Lu
