My girlfriend has dragged me to a few "restorative" yoga classes over the past few weeks. I had to admit that they do make me feel much better (our last class came after 6 hours of walking around the city, and after the class I felt as fresh as I had when I woke up that morning).

Unfortunately, the classes are expensive (3000 yen each), I plan to learn what I can so I can practice on my own for free.

The usual definition of yoga in English is one of many "limbs" of Hatha Yoga, a very systemized form of yoga practiced in India.

I hope you're not doing Yoga just to "pick up chicks" there.

yeah i got a book and a dvd and i do feel more flexable.i grew up on american football,boxing and hockey.if you told me i'd be doing yoga, i would of laughed my head off. it works though,it even raises my spirits.:mtongue:

I've noticed there are two kinds of yoga teachers here in my area: teachers who use English terminologies and teachers who use Sanskrit/colloquial Indian language terminologies.

i do yoga :)

I do! & Hatha was the 1st i tried. Its so worth it...It made me a bit more flexible than i am now...at least for my body type...i must get some dvds cuz yoga is where its at!

i have been doing yoga for some years now and it helped me alot, after my big toes were operated, since i could not put too much pressure on my feet
