What kind of yoga is right for me?



“Sit down, be comfortable. Take a
couple minutes to breathe.”
“I usually breathe all day. At night, too.”
Her lips curved a little. 
“Conscious breathing now. In through the nose
—expanding the belly like
blowing up a balloon, out through the nose, 
deflating the balloon. Long, deep, even breaths. 
Belly rises
and falls. 
Relax your mind.”

There are many styles of yoga to choose from,

“On an inhale, lean left. Don’t overstretch, Hester.”
“You’ve got me doing old-lady yoga.”
The annoyance in Hester’s voice made the whole scene

“We’re taking it slow. Breathe here. Inhale, both arms up, palms touch. 
Exhale. Inhale and lean right.
Both arms up. Repeat that twice.”

“It’s not what I’m after. Yoga relaxes me. I need to pump.”

Which Is Really a Workout?


“Is yoga really a workout?” When I typed that into Google I was pretty astonished at the contrast of dead set opinions and recommendations that are floating around out there.

“Everybody’s got something.”
