By Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a group of mental, physical and spiritual practices and disciplines from ancient India to achieve enlightenment. This is a popular form of physical exercise in the western countries while it is much more than in Indian traditions. There have been studies in determining its effectiveness as a complementary intervention for some diseases 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 using the internet for establishments in your area that are offering these classes and obtain their contact information. You might also try searching in yellow pages or local newspapers for advertisements about these things. List all of them down and acquire more information regarding them to help you choose.

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.

Research the background of the yoga instructor which includes how long they have been teaching this to others. Their longevity is an indication that they are capable in teaching students and having them regularly return for the class. This can mean that they are preferred more compared to others to properly teach the ways of 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 the preparations they have gone through in being a yoga instructor which includes the education they have gotten. This could either formal education or not but great teachers can come from either of them as long as a clear answer will be given that shows their skills and knowledge. Being unable to answer clearly is a sign for you to start searching another one.

There are beginner classes you could try out so that you will learn the various basic concepts that might not be the same with other exercises. You would feel comfortable about not knowing a thing because you are similar with other students. Find the class with the instructor that suits you best by trying out different classes.
