Finding African American Yoga Classes

By Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a blend of spiritual, mental and physical disciplines and practices in achieving enlightenment which originated from ancient India. It is a popular physical exercise form in western countries though it is quite different in Indian traditions. Studies to determine its effectiveness as complementary intervention to some diseases have been done but results were inconclusive.

Anyone could start to do this by attending classes with others so they would learn the ways of doing them properly. African American yoga classes Chicago are there for those people with color could attend comfortably but everyone can attend as well. Here are some advises in searching in your area for one you could join.

Start searching for establishments which offers these classes in your area using the internet and acquire their contact information. You may try also the local newspapers or yellow pages in searching for one as advertisements could be placed there. Make a list of all those you found and gather more information on them.

Ask recommendations from your friends and family members because they might know a class or a teacher and have taken one before. They will share their experience with it and if it was satisfactory or not and helpful in reaching their goals. If those they recommended are not on the list yet then add them to acquire more information regarding them.

Research the background of the yoga instructor which includes how long they have been teaching this to others. Their longevity is an indication that they are capable in teaching students and having them regularly return for the class. This can mean that they are preferred more compared to others to properly teach the ways of yoga.

Ask them how their class is different compared to other exercise classes and if they explained it well then this shows their knowledge of the subject is great. Some of them give amazing answers though some are not able to give one answer which is quite disappointing. Yoga is something more than a social experience, having fun, getting strong or stretching.

Read some online testimonials and reviews to know the opinions of those who have been their students currently and previously. This will also be your way of knowing if there were negative opinions or complaints that have been raised against them. You could find these things in websites where users are allowed to write reviews about certain things.

Ask the preparations they have gone through in being a yoga instructor which includes the education they have gotten. This could either formal education or not but great teachers can come from either of them as long as a clear answer will be given that shows their skills and knowledge. Being unable to answer clearly is a sign for you to start searching another one.

Try out first some beginner classes so you will learn different basic concepts which may not be available in other exercises. Other students are the same as you so you would feel comfortable about almost knowing nothing. Try different classes too so you would find the class as well as instructor you like that could help in achieving enlightenment.
