To everyone, but especially han-grrl, I hasten to add that I've had some excellent yoga instruction in my life, and only hope I can find that again.

Re-thinking about my experience last night, my main problems were, of course, the nagging child, but maybe more so, the obvious lack of a plan. I certainly understand that no one is born as a yoga instructor and it takes time and practice to get good at it. But anyone who knows a little something about their discipline can make at least a rudimentary lesson plan. I'm a teacher myself, and I've been teaching for more than 12 years now, but still, I would never go into class without a plan--even if it's just some scribbled notes to help me stay on track.

Bottom line: I adore doing yoga, and yes, I can do it at home, and I would do that, but I'm not knowledgeable and disciplined enough to really challenge myself. So, the search continues..... *sigh*
