My first class was an Iyengar class, taught in the teacher’s home, five students. I went because my wife recommended it. I was running marathons at the time and figured, “How hard could it be?”
Even though Iyengar is a slow-moving style, before long I was drenched in sweat. I was pushing too hard, and strongly working muscles I wasn’t used to exerting. Yet I felt physically good in a way different than I ever felt before.
That was the seed that led to continued yoga, trying different styles, and then landing on Ashtanga yoga, which perfectly spoke my language. That was more than 35 years ago, and I am still enamored with and grateful for it, during and after every practice, and for how good it makes me feel in general.
