I haven’t taken yoga in many years, and not even in this state, but I wanted to mention that you should not hesitate to try out different instructors and centers if one doesn’t work for you. I’ve had MANY different types of teachers, some that worked well for me and others that I’m grateful weren’t my first experience with yoga or I’d never have tried again. I think the most important thing to remember about yoga is that it’s about your personal journey – not about keeping up with everyone else and/or being “perfect” in every position. If you can’t do something the way it’s taught, ask for modifications. If they criticize you or refuse to help, go elsewhere. I personally started interviewing the instructors before I ever stepped in the door for a class, to find out their philosophy and teaching style.
