Why After a Month of Self-Practice, I've gone back to Yoga Class

1. Always something new. I know how to engage my abs to stay in a hand-stand without a wall, but I can’t do it yet. Even after 15 years of practice, I learn new adjustments to deepen a pose and prevent injury.

2. The people.  I’ve met some of the most amazing people at yoga who continue to enrich my life.

3. New music.  Let’s just say I fell in love with Janelle Monae’s single Yoga at a hip-hop yoga class.

4. Confidence. The know-how of when to stop and spend the rest of a class in child’s pose.

5. Power in numbers. There’s nothing like the sound of 30 people chanting om in candlelight.
