What if I'm not that flexible?
I encourage you to develop a flexible mind. You don't need to be physically flexible to begin your yoga practice.  All you need is to focus on letting go of expectations and your tension will release and your range of motion will naturally increase.  Yoga is a great method to regain a more child-like suppleness  from your skeletal alignment all the way down to your cell-tissue. The physical focus of yoga is more about opening parts of your body that may be tight, numb, or shut down, not to wrap your legs behind your head (although that someday may occur).

Are the Classes Challenging?
Yes. I invite students to challenge themselves to work with their "edges." An "edge" is the feeling in your yoga practice that is pain free, yet intense in the sense that deep physical and emotional sensations begin to surface, and... ultimately release. Although the challenge factor in the first few classes may be particularly intense, diligent practice cultivates an attitude towards embracing your challenges as the gift of your yoga practice. 

Will  I be in pain  if I practice yoga?
coming soon...

What do you think about ______ Yoga?
I suggest that people focus on discovering THEIR relationship to THEIR yoga rather than worrying too much about which type of yoga is superior or inferior.  Judgments of “good” or “bad” about Ashtanga, Iyengar,  Forrest,  Bikram, Kundalini, etc., are the results of thinking and therefore only exist in our minds. “Good” and “bad” or “better” or “worse” do not exist within a type of yoga but with in an individual’s relationship to yoga practice.  Some people seek relaxation while  other’s seek a vigorous physical challenge. The various types of yoga are multifaceted in the diversity of gifts they offer.
