  1. Hey Grant, I've been thinking about getting into yoga. Do you have any recommendations on how to begin/things I should look at?

    I'd rather try it by myself first to save myself potential money and embarrassment.

    1. I'd recommend a simple 10-15 minute beginner morning routine, and start incorporating it into your morning every day. This will be a primer to open the body early in the day and learn some basic yoga moves. I did this for quite a while before actually joining a studio, but have to say that the studio and official practice drastically produces change...

      Starting out the things you really want to work on are connecting with your breathe, and being able to find the "alignment" that yoga always refers to. This often means you cannot go fully into a pose because you lose the deep nasal breathing and start tensing and/or moving out of position and taking the stress off what you are intending to stretch.

      Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. Yoga has really been a transformational addition to my lifestyle.
