geeky_mommy asked:


I am interested in becoming a yoga instructor, specifically for prenatal and mommy and me yoga (also known as Itsy Bitsy Yoga in some places). I used to do yoga all the time and I am now getting back into it and my love for it keeps growing. I know it will take a long time, and I am starting by taking regular Hatha Yoga classes, I just want to know the steps I will need to take, and any tips from anyone who has been there.

talean4ever asked:


I am trying to lose weight, and I want to do some yoga, but I want to do some more active yoga then I do. I do plank and sunsalutes, things like that. Any suggestions? I take yoga at the Y, but what are some websites that have a few active yoga moves I could do at home, all I have is a mat.

How can I learn yoga without going to a class?

Dirty Punk asked:
I live in a very small town that is really in the middle of nowhere.

What are the best books I can get on basic yoga? I want to be doing it correctly and not hurt myself. I want to start doing yoga but I don’t know how to start. The nearest decent-sized town is about 200 miles away…I want to make sure I have the right technique; I don’t know how to start.

How do I become a yoga instructor in New Jersey?

JerseyScorp asked:


I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it. I’m looking to get certified so I can use my skill to teach yoga to others. I’m just wondering how one goes about getting certified in NJ. I would probably just teach at a local YMCA or something like that, not looking to open my own studio. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
