erinmccl, I agree!

I take classes with Adele and find her to be the

best I have found after trying numerous instructors in

quite a few places (I travel for my job).

<br><br>Someone recently told me that Ashtanga yoga attracts lots

of Type A personalities, and after reading through

this site, I have to agree. I didn't think the purpose

of yoga was to be better than others, or to be so

set in your thinking that you excluded people because

they weren't like you. I go to class to relax and to

learn something about my body. I love this form of yoga

because it forces me to exert myself to the point of

exhaustion and allows me to turn inward and put all that

type A personality garbage somewhere else. And I am

getting stronger and more flexible and learning how to

use my breath.<br><br>But to see how competitive this

practice is is very off putting. <br><br>I am sure some of

this is in jest, but not sure how much.
