I can't quite recall my very first attempt to practice yoga, but I can say with certainty that it was "Inhale" by Steve Ross that hooked me in. A yoga class offered on t.v. at 5AM on the Oxygen Channel. It still airs to this day, but I personally follow vhs recordings so I can skip the commercials. Every time I practice to "Inhale" I feel, well, happy. Not so ironic that his studio in L.A. is called Maha Yoga meaning "happy yoga".
I think what got me was complete removal of anything that otherwise would make me feel intimidated to start something I knew nothing about and thought I would have to know so much more to begin. So as I try to introduce others that are new to yoga and begin to teach them, I find myself visiting my roots finding familiarity, acceptance and fun. All things I hope to offer and hopefully while they roll up their mats and head out into the world they too will have a smile on their face. -A
