How to pick a good yoga teacher.

What do you need to know before deciding on your yoga teacher?

There are several types of yoga so you can begin with learning which type you want to begin practicing.

Next, do research on the teacher to see if he or she teaches that type and if they have the qualifications to do so properly. Did they take a weekend course in order to teach or have they studied for months or years before beginning the teaching process?

There are safety issues as well to be considered. Women who are menustrating should not perform certain yoga poses and those who have high blood pressure would do well not to perfom inverted poses.

Study, and pick wisely, not out of haste.
