Looking For 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.

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 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 for recommendations from your family and friends as they may have or still is taking classes. They will be telling you the experience they had with this activity and who was the instructor they were under at that time. If the ones recommended are not yet on the list then add them and gather more information on them too.

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 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 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 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.
