Looking For African American Yoga Classes

Looking For African American Yoga Classes


by Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a mixture of physical, spiritual and mental practices and disciplines in achieving enlightenment originating from ancient India. This is a physical exercise form popular in western countries while in Indian traditions, it is so much more than that. Studies have been done in determining the effectiveness it has as complementary intervention for diseases but with inconclusive results.

Anyone can start doing this by joining others in classes so that they would be able to learn more about the proper ways of doing it. There are African American yoga classes Chicago who people with color can comfortably attend but is also open for everyone. Here are some tips in finding one in your area you can join.

Start searching for establishments which offers these classes in your area using the internet and acquire their contact information. You may try also the local newspapers or yellow pages in searching for one as advertisements could be placed there. Make a list of all those you found and gather more information on them.

Ask your family members and friends for recommendations as they might have or is still taking classes. They would be telling you their experiences in doing this activity and in which one they have the best experience. Add the ones recommended that are not yet listed and get more information about them as well.

Make some background research about the yoga instructor that includes the number of years have they been instructing. The number of years will indicate their capabilities of staying and teaching students who regularly comes. This could mean they are more preferred compared to others in teaching proper ways to do yoga.

Ask them what makes their class different from other exercise ones and if they are able to explain it you properly then they know their subject well. Some of them could give amazing answers but some could be disappointing and unable to give one at all. Yoga is more than just stretching, getting strong, having fun or a social experience.

Read some reviews and testimonials online to see what people are thinking about the instructor and their class. This would be your chance also to check if any negative feedback or complaints have been written against them. This information is available on websites that allows users to write reviews on certain things.

Ask they the way they have prepared in becoming a yoga instructor including the education they received. They could be formally educated or not but can still turn out to be great teachers specially if they gave a clear answer showing they are knowledgeable and skillful. Better start finding another one if they failed to give a clear answer.

Try out first some beginner classes so you will learn different basic concepts which may not be available in other exercises. Other students are the same as you so you would feel comfortable about almost knowing nothing. Try different classes too so you would find the class as well as instructor you like that could help in achieving enlightenment.
