Where do I start?
The basics classes are designed for those new to the Ashtanga practice. In them, you will be exposed to the basic techniques of the form. We focus on modifications and correct alignment in an effort to instill healthy habits from the beginning, thereby reducing the possibility of injury.

How often should I practice?
As much as you can! We suggest learning the basic sun salutations which crystallize the elements of the practice. Once you learn them, practice them often, even if only 15 minutes a day. The more you practice on a consistent basis, the faster you'll notice results. (Traditionally you practice 6 times a week. Saturdays, new moon and full moon days you take off. Also, women take the three heaviest flow days of their menstrual cycle off.)

Will my other fitness activities (ie weight training, running) erase the benefits of doing yoga?
No. Yoga will enhance your other activities, whether they are physical or mental in nature. If it's physical exercise you're talking about, yoga will help keep you strong, aware and injury free.
