Finding African American Yoga Classes

By Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a mixture of physical, spiritual and mental practices and disciplines in achieving enlightenment originating from ancient India. This is a physical exercise form popular in western countries while in Indian traditions, it is so much more than that. Studies have been done in determining the effectiveness it has as complementary intervention for diseases but with inconclusive results.

Everyone could start doing this through joining others in a class so they will learn in the ways of properly doing it. African American yoga classes Chicago are available for people with color to attend comfortably but this is open for everyone too. Here are some guides in looking for one you can join in your area.

Start searching using the internet for establishments in your area that are offering these classes and obtain their contact information. You might also try searching in yellow pages or local newspapers for advertisements about these things. List all of them down and acquire more information regarding them to help you choose.

Ask your family members and friends for recommendations as they might have or is still taking classes. They would be telling you their experiences in doing this activity and in which one they have the best experience. Add the ones recommended that are not yet listed and get more information about them as well.

Make some background research about the yoga instructor that includes the number of years have they been instructing. The number of years will indicate their capabilities of staying and teaching students who regularly comes. This could mean they are more preferred compared to others in teaching proper ways to do yoga.

Ask them what makes their class different from other exercise ones and if they are able to explain it you properly then they know their subject well. Some of them could give amazing answers but some could be disappointing and unable to give one at all. Yoga is more than just stretching, getting strong, having fun or a social experience.

Read some reviews and testimonials online to see what people are thinking about the instructor and their class. This would be your chance also to check if any negative feedback or complaints have been written against them. This information is available on websites that allows users to write reviews on certain things.

Ask they the way they have prepared in becoming a yoga instructor including the education they received. They could be formally educated or not but can still turn out to be great teachers specially if they gave a clear answer showing they are knowledgeable and skillful. Better start finding another one if they failed to give a clear answer.

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.
