My experiences

I was new to Mumbai and I was looking desperately for a place to start daily jogging (Think of searching a place to run where you can’t find place to walk!). By the way, I call it “Daily jogging” but I seldom jog daily. Anyhow, I found a garden suitable for morning jog where I also found a instructor teaching Yoga to his disciples.

I had listened of YOGA and about our beloved Guru – Baba Ramdev and also about the healing power of yoga but I never thought of trying it. Fortunately, as walked around the garden, I was enamored with the different Yoga postures taught by the Instructor and the demanding positions of different Asanas. I was not sure if I could do it, but I thought to try my hands.

And that’s how I started practicing Yoga. I attended just 5 classes from the instructor before I was transferred to Bangalore. Those few yoga sessions were great learning experience for me. I was now convinced about the greatness of age old art of YOGA. It does refreshes ones mind and heals physical ailments, if any. But I also understood that YOGA is demanding too. One should have patience and commitment towards Yoga for achieving desired results . 

By the way, I came to Bangalore and decided to continue Yoga Training. I attended another instructor for Yoga Classes. This instructor was not as great as my last one. In fact, he was sapping my desire to learn yoga. So, I soon stopped attending his sessions. Moral of the story – Do good research about the best Yoga Instructor in your area before attending one otherwise it will be difficult to learn and appreciate Yoga.

Secondly, whenever you come across a good Yoga Center, do rate it in different yoga forums so that people can take informed decisions. Presently (July 2008 ) i am attending following Yoga classes and I found it one of the best .
