yoga?

amyg · April 2005

i'm looking for a good place or person to go to learn yoga. i'm a relative beginner, and more importantly, i have a seriously bad back, so i need a program or person who specializes in yoga that improves back problems (and who won't make me bend over and touch my toes!)

they offer a wide range of classes. and it's all pretty affordable. cathy, the lady who runs the place, offers wicked good shiatsu too.

Bikram Yoga on Flatbush is an amazing studio, great energy no spiritual ego. Bikram's methods are seriously rehabilitative (been known to cute rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, back troubles, etc) the heated room and meditative cycle of 26 postures produce astounding results.

You can check out their site: bikramyogaparkslope.com to read more about the practice. There is a fair amount of back bending here, but the instructors take injuries seriously and help practitioners to modify their postures, leading to rehabilitation and full range of motion.

Highly recommended!!
