It’s a popular practice on both TeachStreet and the mean streets of Seattle. Yoga, in all of its forms, is applicable to everyday life and is even more applicable now than ever before. Center your lifestyle and hey, the economy’s bound to turn around  at some point!

Learning more from our teachers
This past week, our group of teachers and yoga enthusiasts spoke up about how to rejuvinate home practice of yoga, particularly if you haven’t fit in time for your downward dog lately. Teacher Susan Snyder also weighed in about qigong, yoga’s cousin. Check out Susan’s article that outlines the basics of qugong, it’s an interesting read.

Personal experiences from our staff
Teachstreeter and experienced excerciser Jenn has been wondering if her older yoga routine can be worked in with pilates workouts. Can these two workouts have the same (or better) effect as a hybrid routine? Check out Jenn’s Yoga vs. Pilates discussion and weigh in with your thoughts.
I, on the other hand, just started taking Hot Yoga classes. I really knew nothing going into the experience, even the very basic question of what to bring! Well, my dumb questions were answered and I posted an article on it. You can read all about how I learned to love hot yoga, and hopefully, you’ll be a step ahead.

Take a class
There are tons of classes in nearly every type of yoga practice at TeachStreet. Check out a yoga class in your city, contact a teacher with any questions you may have, or post that question to our forums! It’s a great way to learn and be ready for that first, eighth, or twentieth class.
