Finding the right yoga class can be a journey in itself. Once you start to look, you find loads of choice. You can become overwhelmed and confused by all the different types of yoga that are currently on offer.
If a doctor advises you to attend a class, please do a little research beforehand. You might end up in a hard-core class which is really only suitable for strong, young bodies. Click here for a brief description of the different types of yoga.
My own classes tend to take place mostly on the mat. They are quite flowing and slow. I like to focus on the spine - strengthening it and making it more supple. I also make sure there is adequate relaxation. Yoga is restorative. A class should build and strengthen your energy, not deplete it.
