Yoga
    #8144549 -

Hey guys, I'm really interested in learning some yogaor Tai Chi. I can't decide if it would be better to learn off some sites/an ebook or if I should grab a DVD?

So I was hoping someone with a bit of experience could either tell me some good sites, or point me in the direction of a good beginners DVD.

Thanks!

They are about equal in quality to learn. Both are vastly inferior to being taught by a living and breathing human.

For one thing, a DVD won't correct your position when you're doing it wrong.

I totally agree, but sadly I don't have the funds [poor uni student]. I did a few free lessons early in the morning at a music festival, so I have a very basic idea already. I just want something to get me started. :smirk:

I know, yoga lessons can be damn expensive. I started out (after getting some real instruction when I was a little kid) with the series of asana in Be Here Now a book that is a good introduction for many things from yoga to meditation and many related topics, but no more than an introduction.
One book that I find to be very good is Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar. It's the no-nonsense hard work approach to yoga. Neither of those are free sadly.

If someone knows of good free online resources, I'd be interested as well. A clear description of each asana with illustrating video clips would be ideal.

I kinda wanted to yoga, but have you seen some of those positions? I don't want to take a class b/c I would seriously accidentally fart.

in fact, I farted just now thinking about it.

:grin: The trick is to do it quietly.

I have seen some of those positions. Some you can try, some you can only laugh at.

Example:



The mere thought of trying this makes my brain freeze up and only giggles escape my mouth.
