new here

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone-

 

I am new here. Honestly I had never heard of this type of Yoga

before. I learned about it a really silly way. I recently saw

Madonna in a movie and wondered how she stays so lean and buff so I

did a search and saw she does this type of Yoga. I am new to ALL

types of Yoga so was wondering what exactly it is. I am relatively

out of shape. I have been doing Pilates for awhile though and so am

more strong through my abs. I would like to join a gym when I get

enough money and so I thought getting cardio that way and doing

Yoga/Pilates would be good for getting the leaner longer look. What

do you think?

Hi Nightshadows,

 

Madonna's Astanga teacher is also my teacher. Lean is a function of

what one eats. Buff could be one of the many benifits of Astanga.

The Astanga Primary Series releases the toxins in the body, can't

really say that about Pilates. It's doubtful that you can find a Pure

Astanga class at the gym. You should find a qualified teacher if you

can depending on where you live, perhaps you could share that with

the group.

 

Good Luck,

 

BH
