Do you know about YOGA?

hi,
i am planning to do yoga.
which is more effective? going to class, or following the video?

i am planning to do yoga to release my stress, to be more healthy, and to kinda lose weight. (does yoga help you in those area?)

how much are the class?

Is it hard to do? is it like learning a piano that you feel like quitting after a few days? (hopefully not)

any tips for beginner?

oh, what kind of equiments do i need?

thank you so so much

Your local health club should offer yoga classes along with a membership. Classes are enormously more effective than the videos because you cannot mimic the calm atmosphere of a studio with an instructor there to help you at home.

Yoga is one of the best stress relievers around. When you exit the class, you feel completely rejuvenated and refreshed. It helps you to stay healthy through its strength, flexibility, and balance work as well as mental relaxation. I take yoga three to four times a week, and I lose about a pound a week doing so. However, it shouldn't be relied on as a major source of weight loss.

My family pays about 100 dollars a month for a health club membership. It includes full gym use and all sorts of group fitness classes. Individual memberships run about 40 dollars a month.

It is not hard to do. You are free to work at your own pace, and you pick up the poses very quickly. Also, if you get a good instructor, they will show you many modifications that are fit to your level.

Focus only on yourself, and not the people around you. Don't push yourself too hard.

Yoga is a mental excercise as well as a physical excercise.
The best technique for any person contemplating to take up yoga is not to contemplate but to concentrate - on how yoga and its techniques is escalating into a world wide epidemic where yoga exercises are helping ailing patients and others who seek peace of mind.
