Doing Yoga

One of the first things I look for when I move to a new place is a place where I can do yoga.  I try to find a place close to where I live, with a reasonable price and with good teachers. So far, I've been lucky in the places I've gone to. In Zurich, it was the ETH Zurich yoga classes. In Stockholm, I went to Friskis and Svettis.  Now in Saarbrücken, I found the University Saarland classes to be a good fit. 

It always gives a different energy to go to a live class, and it helps a lot when teachers correct your poses real-time.  However, it takes a lot of time and expense to go to yoga classes so to augment my yoga learning and to further work on my stretches, I do yoga at home with the help of free yoga classes available online.  You can just look for them on www.youtubecom. My favorite online yoga teacher is Esther Ekhart.  You can find a lot of her online classes on youtube or at her website www.ekhartyoga.com.  I have also been following the www.myyogaonline.com classes -- they are giving away 25 days of free yoga this December. Really nice routines!

The web has really changed how we do things.  A lot of things you can now learn and do at home with the best teachers from around the world.
