Finding African American Yoga Classes

By Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a group of mental, physical and spiritual practices and disciplines from ancient India to achieve enlightenment. This is a popular form of physical exercise in the western countries while it is much more than in Indian traditions. There have been studies in determining its effectiveness as a complementary intervention for some diseases 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 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 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.

Do some background research on the yoga instructor including how many years they have been instructing this. The years would indicate they were able to stay and teach by having students come to them continually. This means that they were preferred by others to teach them in the proper ways of doing 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.
