Yoga has given me a healthy challenge with myself….feeling better…accomplishment with humility (not always easy with male personalities!!).
I have been in yoga now for over a year and these are changes …..body awareness, increased flexibility and joint strength, importance of “core”……much improved “proprioception".
I now have situational acceptance and empathy……I take more deep breaths and more often think about what my core is doing !!
My advice is to try different instructors…. as with most subjects, teaching techniques and competencies can differ greatly. Once you have found a match for you, commit for at least 3 times a week for 9 months…….it takes time to “wrap you head around the realities”.
I think a Gentle Gentle yoga class is the way to start off until you find an instructor for you and then branch out to other types of classes when YOU want more of a challenge.
……. find a yoga instructor who is versed in anatomy and physiology/medical background, has a grasp of psychosocial realities and, empathetic with their egos under control.
Please keep up your good work. And I hope this helps with your blog and the audience. K/S
