some questions...

[Guest guest]

Lori, Since you have found this site, you have hopefully had the

chance to read back through some of the older posts and have already

found some answers to the questions you have asked. These kinds of

questions do come up frequently, so you shouldn't have to look back

too far. Another place to look is another ashtanga message board,

Can you get more flexible after you are past the age of 20? Oh my, I

hope so. At the grand old age of twenty, there is almost nothing

that you can't do.

 

How much yoga should you do? try doing it thre times a week to see

if you feel okay with it. If so, then you should do it almost every

day. The most common recommendation is 6 days a week, if you can

arrange things to allow that.

 

Concerned about that teaching certificate? Learn to walk, then the

question of how to run will be better answered.

 

Can it be learned from a DVD alone? Maybe. But that is the least

ideal approach. Finding a teacher of some kind to help you with your

form is important.
