Yoga very well may be the most accessible and versatile activity. Over the years I’ve enjoyed chatting with people I know about their routines and have come to find that there are several different motivations for practicing. My sister-in-law joined a Prenatal Yoga class (she was in labor for a mere hour and a half – I would not give yoga all the credit but her healthy physical condition surely helped). A friend of mine with a rare degenerative arthritis does a very gentle yoga every day to relieve his back pain. My boss regularly attends a hot yoga class to detox, exercise and take an hour to shed the demands of her daily life.
If you’ve practiced before, even once, you’ll know how wide-ranging the benefits are as well. By allowing your thoughts to focus on synchronizing breath and movement you can achieve clarity of mind. A regular practice can greatly improve posture, strength and, of course, flexibility. A simple Sun Salutation can be the perfect series for warming up:
At TeachStreet one of our heavily browsed subjects is Yoga. We know that people love it. If you are looking for a Yoga Teacher Training Certification, a beginning Hatha class, a hot class or an intermediate flow class.

I was very fortunate to learn the basics of knitting from my grandmother. She abandoned knitting years ago for the pleasures of quilting – so she had to really work hard to remember the difference between knitting and purling (two different way of working your stitches to create different textures), and we had to reference her 1960s knitting book to learn casting on (casting on is the method of getting the yarn onto the needle so you can actually begin knitting).
Much to everyone’s chagrin we are diving into the cold months again. But the one thing I keep hearing from those of us dreading the winter is that there is something very appealing about cooking soup, snuggling in with a book and taking up our KNITTING again!! If you’re looking for introductory classes or if you are thinking about stepping up from scarves to the intimidating shawl or sweater you can find a great knitting class in your area on TeachStreet.
