Life's been rather dynamic lately. A new friend at work has gotten me into mental psychology and esteem-awareness. She also got me hooked on organic vitality drinks.

I figured I'd complete my mental overhaul with a physical overhaul. I'm gonna get back to going to the gym tonight, but wanted to try yoga, as I was always interested.

Gonna head to a nearby yoga place after work tomorrow, but their websites don't provide much help.

If my flexibility is legitimate ass, should I work on that before going? Are yoga pants necessary? I have no clue about this stuff, and was curious if anyone here have taken classes and their experiences.

I do yoga regularly. Love it.

You don't need to work on flexibility, you'll pick it up as you practice yoga more. Yoga pants are not necessary, but if you're serious about doing yoga, you should look into Thai fisherman pants which are cool and handy. You could just wear shorts but you'll look like a jock, which isn't a big deal if you're doing generic White person yoga, but if you're going to a legit studio that is really authentic to the spirituality side of yoga you'll be out of place.

My advice is if you're doing yoga for the mental spiritual side of it, find the most authentic place you can. It may cost more, but it'll help you achieve your goal more than the cheap ones you can do in the side room of a gym. If you just want to stretch and do calisthenics, just go find a cheap one on Groupon.


Mod note: I'm not disparaging white people, I'm putting our a difference between authentic yoga studios and prominently white American ones that just adopt the practice without the spiritual side of it. I am white, and not making a racist statement.

Nice. Yeah, then do a little bit of light research if you want the spiritual side. Most places let you do a drop in for like $12 bucks, so find a couple that seem legit, drop in and check it out. If the instructor is cool and seems to know what they're doing, lets you actually meditate, etc, it's a good sign.

Quick easy way (not perfect but easy) to judge how legit a place is, is pay attention to how often the instructors actually say the pose names in Hindi/Sanskrit. Like for example, saying trikonasana instead of triangle-pose.

I've heard tons of great stuff about it. I've seen some weight loss stories about it too.
