Yay! If you have carpet, you can just use a towel for a mat at first.I bought a yoga DVDit hasn't arrived yet and i'll have to get a yoga mat before it does! I bought the Shiva Rea beginner's DVD that was recommended in this thread. Never done anything like it before, but I dont like the idea of going to a class haha.
My whole house is wooden floors unfortunately! i bought one today though (TK Maxx which I believe is TJ Maxx Stateside, if anyones after a cheap one), before the DVD has even arrived. It was despatched today wheeYay! If you have carpet, you can just use a towel for a mat at first.
The thing that turns me off from yoga (and Tai Chi, and other similar exercises) is how to go about learning it. I feel that if I attempt to do something out of a book or video, I'll end up doing it wrong, which might end up screwing up my posture or something. And classes are either costly, or I have to find a good time to attend them, and I don't know which type of yoga would be the most beneficial to me.
It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that I don't know how to go about doing it. I figure that it would benefit me more if I start sooner than later.
It's not religious, don't worry. I think you'd enjoy it; the breathing alone makes you feel good.
Yes I know, I had one Christian tell me a few years back that the other gods are used for yoga and its devil worship, I am not listening to that dogmata no more and scare tactics, I rather be peaceful about life now.It's not religious, don't worry.
