When I first did yoga it was the early 80's, I used to watch them practicing yoga from my office window at work during lunch so I gave it a go. Everyone was in black leotard type clothing, it was a serious quiet class and I was in my 20's and probably the youngest in the class, I didn't do it for long. I didn't understand that there were different types of yoga at that time, and to be honest there wasn't much choice around near me then. I was used to fast exercise classes, aerobic classes, where you wore headbands and legwarmers and got sweaty and ached for days until the next class, and of course you can still get all of that from some styles of yoga classes now if that's what you want, but it was years later, when I reached a different stage in my life that I started taking yoga seriously, I didn't want those same types of classes and when I found a spiritual teacher yoga began to transform my view of the world and what is really important, I then began to make yoga a huge part of my life, my husband says I live and breathe yoga.
