Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga A reader wrote me this week complaining about the high cost of yoga classes. Believe me, if this yoga guide gig came with super powers, I'd wave my hand and make all classes affordable, studios profitable, and hamstrings flexible. Unfortunately, I can't do all that, but I can give you some money-saving tips. Yoga on a Budget Buying your classes in bulk is really the best way to bring down the cost of each class. Donation-based studios are the big news lately, as more teachers become committed to keeping the cost of yoga reasonable. Hit Google to find out if there is a pay-what-you-can studio near you. Share Your Budget Yoga Tips Lots of great tips here from readers like you. Many recommend online resources for cheap classes Yoga on the Internet Reviews of online yoga classes via Yogadownload.com and Yogaglo. Pose of the Week - Bird of Paradise Bird of paradise is one of those poses that seems completely improbable until the day comes, quite unexpectedly, when you find yourself standing there on one leg, all bound and balancing. What I like about this pose is that it can easily be broken down into stages, beginning with bound side angle. As you become comfortable with each step along the way, you are working your way up to the full pose.
