Back to basic

I've been practising yoga (Ashtanga and Hatha) since nearly 4 years now but I still feel like a beginner. The main reason is that I only practice once a week...
Switching recently to
Ashtanga beginners (the class and teacher where it all started) we had Cathy Moran teaching one class. She told us about a new course she would be doing at Yoga Glasgow called "Foundation course in Ashtanga Yoga" and I was immediately hooked. The reason is that I still can't do the sun solution properly (Plank?! Pff...as if) and it's always good to go back to where you started. The course starts this Friday at 5:30pm so enough time afterwards to go for a Friday pint....yeah.

welcome

This is a blog for people like myself who can only manage to attend a yoga class once a week but would like to bring yoga more into their own lives.
I practice yoga for over three years now and feel the advantages of it every single day.
First I went to the Beginner's Ashtanga class at the chi yoga centre in glasgow, having the wonderful June Mitchell as a teacher. Then I swapped to the monday class Beginner's yoga (Hatha) teached by Flo & Glen and that's my fixed date ever since.
If I can't make a class, I feel it and ever since I started I swore to myself to do more at home. But failed many times with that. Books about yoga have been bought, read and put aside but now I will try to bring it more into my live and weekly regime. This is about how I get on and I hope you can take something away for yourself.
Namaste.
