Yoga Classes

I was actually going through interesting threads to look up and am seeing this. So pulling this topic out from the archives

So yeah, Even I was having a tough time when I found myself interested in yoga and started to find a teacher but then realized it's just a multi million industry now. And with the help of some online resources and a couple of experienced teachers, I have managed to reach a point where I practice daily. Out of the multitude of branches in Yoga, I follow Ashtanga because it fits my schedule and also the ideal cooldown to the mixed martial arts training that I stick to. But I hihgly urge you to look up on all the other branches Like Kundalini, Hatha, etc etc.

Even-though the best idea is to do yoga in the morning, in the sunlight, at around 5.30--6.00am, on the grass with incense burning around you and a unicorn prancing around in the background, the busy UAE life doesn't allow either of those luxuries. Especially for bachelors. So, Regardless of whatever the time or shift you start or finish work, I have realized that so long as there's some decent space to move around, and a flow of air and no people running around cooking smelly things or smoking, you could actually practice it. When I started practicing, I was doing an outdoor sales job , and left home at 7am and was coming back around 9pm , exhausted from walking around without a car in industrial areas. But that honestly didn't get in my way; my opinion is the strong willpower .

The things that you need to have are quite minimal- a mat and some clothing that will let your body breath. Because a yoga flow generates a lot of heat and after a flow, you will most probably end up sweating a lot. Very normal.

Did you start practicing? If you have anyone else planning to as well, if someone could sponsor an empty space, I would not mind meet you guys, sharing some material like ebooks and videos and once you guys are familiar with the stuff I've shared, we could even meet up and practice as a lot as well! It's fun to practice as a team.

Cheers!
