Since starting yoga over 10 years ago, my regular practice has helped transform my body and has healed some past injuries. One of the best instructors I have found is Albert Trople. His instruction is directed towards using precise alignment so you don't hurt yourself. The 90-minute classes are a very efficient use of time to include weight bearing exercise, strength and flexibility. If you are new to yoga I would suggest starting with the Hatha class. Albert is attentive to newcomers and offers knowledgeable instruction to help you get the most out of your workout. The Vinyasa flow class steps up the pace - this is not your mamma's class; but there are some hot mammas who have integrated this class into their practice! If you don't know what sun salutations are YOU WILL LEARN THEM since every class is started with a full set, push ups included! The class atmosphere is usually light-hearted but the focus is always on the safe precision of your practice. The only advise I would give to Albert to improve his classes would be to get some new jokes!
