Btw, I'm not trying to sound like an expert here......JSYK!!!
David Swenson is a very popular visiting teacher here in Austin.
Used bookstores (or new book) have yoga vids.
I'm a beginner, and a book that keeps me interested is "Ashtanga Yoga" by Davis Swenson.
I agree on the library, it's a great knowledge base. You can even request the book that you're looking for, and if it receives a few other requests the libra...
also, your library could get you vids from libraries across the country. check with me on teachers' names if you like, yogiB ;))))
Thanks! I would much rather go to a class but I teach so many fitness classes that I can very rarely make it to the yoga classes. I'll check out the library though :)
Really, the library's a great place to start, you may get lucky.
blessings, yb

On Fridays go to: Rumba, Touch of Euro, Alhambra Palace, Nacio...

Hey there - are any of you guys into salsa dancing?! I'm going to be in Chicago June 19th & 20th and would LOVE to get my salsa on. I haven't danced in Chi-town for awhile so I was wondering where to go that weekend. Plus I want to check out a raw...

Newbie looking for advice...pretty pleeeaaase with Stevia on top and an organic cherry:)
About 2 months ago I discovered raw food (ironically on a day I was home sick from work) and have been incorportaing as much of it as I can into my day. I love it, I love the way I feel, it just makes sense! Anyway, I am not 100% raw but probably about 75% or so.
