[Sportsandrec] yoga class

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Carly,
Do you know how hatha yoga differs from gentle yoga?
I heard hatha yoga involves poses where you balance on one foot?  Is that 
harder for you?  I know it would be for me.  My vision and balance are 
affected from the same part of my brain.  I've not done yoga yet because 
I've been busy.  I am sure I will some day though.
