Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 My name is Rikki Schafer, I am 24 years. Currently I am a senior at Drake University in Des Moines Iowa, I am majoring in sociology and anthropology and minoring in political science. A few years ago I began to question organized religion and began searching for "God" myself. I am eager to begin learning about and practicing Yoga. I am confused about which form is the right one for me. ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Hi Rikki! I've been doing yoga (and yoga has been doing me....) for about 18 years. I still don't know which form is right for me! Same for meditation! However, I don't regret any of the yoga that I've done! It is without a doubt the best practice I have done for myself! I started with Iyengar style Hatha yoga, then Kripalu (no Iyengar teacher in the place we moved to), now do a combination of Kundalini and Ashtanga. I love them all! All the best to you in your quest. Feel free to write back if you wish to discuss the different experiences that each form gave me.

I'm really interested in how you fit the two together. Do you do two different practices, or combine them together? I have been doing ashtanga for a couple of months and really love it. But I'm interested in the more "round" approach of kundalini, but am not sure how to go about integrating them. For the time being, I've sort of been letting it ride and just doing ashtanga (I'm relatively new to yoga and the ashtanga practice has really been helping me to get in shape in a way that I don't hate or get bored with).

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Hi Tammy, It's not a very formal process -- I have two classes that I go to... one is Kundalini and I do a kriya every morning... er, almost every morning. I go to an Ashtanga class and will do the primary series at least once a week. It keeps me feeling fit, while the kundalini gives me more heart and enthusiasm. I like the energy I get from doing both. If I could, I'd do one more ashtanga class/week, but my kids are beginning to forget what I look like! Hope this is helpful!
