yea...don't count on a yoga teacher to remember when to finish her class so the next class can start on time.
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.

Indeed , warrior's yoga is a delightful practice and I also support it as a practice in ones life that will contribute to quality of life greatly.
But, I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner and instead would recommend that you build your practice towards it gradually.
If you tried to learn kungfu by starting with the most difficult material, it will not be a workable solution...in other words.
Kung Fu is good for you.

Think again: this series of yoga postures assumed in asana-based classes assists air in exiting your digestive tract—in a room full of people. The motions involve lying flat on your back and pulling your left, right or both knees into your tensed stomach, squeezing out the stale air or, in instructor's lingo, engaging your abdominal region to assist with elimination. The poses are also said to enhance supine strength and flexibility, making them optimal for those with both bad backs and Metamucil in their pantries (read: old people). "It could certainly be helpful with some individuals in terms of [their] low backs," says Bryant. "But the whole flatulence aspect—I'm not so sure that there's a great deal of physiological support for that being a need."
The verdict: Group flatu-fitness? We'll pass.
Do a prayer twist in crescent pose or warrior one and you will probably fart.
Kung Fu is good for you.

dont have alot of time, and hate weight training. trying to consolidate time and effort. what about yoga-not just stretching, but strengthening and pranayam as well. please discuss.
dont have alot of time or resources(here in the Deep South). trying to consolidate as much as I can for purpose of time and resources. really interested in tcm/qigong but availability is almost nil. i know yoga is different, but conceptually tied. please, discuss.
lol, thanks for the encouragement. i do hope to try kettlebells this year, we'll see.
back to the point at hand.
If you don't want to devote time to taking care of your fitness and lack the willpower for weightlifting, what could you gain from attempting yoga?
