I just started getting interested in Yoga. I didnt really know where to start. I took a normal class and felt a little intimidated cause everything was moving way to fast. My friend recommended talking a beginner series so when I went to a regular class I wouldnt feel so out of place. I live in NYC and searched craigslist and found a bunch. I settled for a place at West 14th Street called Practice Yoga (practiceyoga.com). Anyway it was a great idea cause it was four weeks and they taught me all the basics. I started going to the normal classes now and its great. Anyway I just thought I would pass this info along in case there are you beginners out there like me. I bet you could find them in a lot of cities if you dont live in NY. It is a great thing cause sometimes the other Level 1 classes can be to advanced for those of us who dont know much other than downward dog. lol.
Best Luck to Everyone!
