my car is a yoga mat - stick to the fundamentals

Different hatha yoga disciplines, such as Iyengar or Bikram, require you to study under their own certified instructors. You know firsthand the benefits of incorporating yoga into your life: stress management, mental balance, and more.

Studies have shown that educating students about their bodies and the effects of what they are doing, increases motivation. Deciding what technique works best for you is a very personal choice. Instruction must be executed with the a sufficient amount of knowledge and personal practice.

The problem with most people is that they rush into everything that sounds interesting before they are sure of whether they want it or not. Yoga can help you create a sense of calmness and well being to replace this stress from work. Like stress, yoga can help with confronting anxiety.

Signing up for a series of classes is also the best way to keep you on track, since you can pay in advance. Since your body and mind are one, by relaxing your body you also relax your mind.
