[Sportsandrec] Taking a yoga class

[Michelle]

Hello. I highly recommend that you seek out a blind yoga instructor. I have never had a better queuing experience then with a blind instructor, and I am sighted.  The blind yoga instructor provides the most clear instruction I have ever had, much better than most other yoga instructors.

Of course, every instructor is different but in general the instructor talks the entire class through the pose, circulating the class so as to correct little nuances of people's form. In some cases, it is necessary to bodily demonstrate the pose you are trying to strike. Completely du able, even a quite therapeutic, gives you time with your mind.
