Not everyone for Yoga

I immediately developed an appreciation and a love for Yoga upon my first class, and though it is true that Yoga has picked up quite a few followers in the past couple of years and classes seem to overflow with students I seem to meet more individuals who say Yoga is not for them.

Eager to share my interest I took both my sister and my brother to a level one class.  My brother who is an avid bicyclist and a devoted Christian seemed to like the class in the physical sense, he was able to appreciate the stretches that are often urged of bicyclists.  My sister a devoted mother to two boys and occasional turbo-boxer at the gym understood Yoga less.  To those new to Yoga or perhaps not properly introduced are put off by the slow-pace of the class and don't seem to understand the nature of the practice, 'why is the entire class about stretching?'  Is most likely the question from every new student.

Needless to say, my brother and my sister never returned to take classes.  They have grown accustomed to a fast-pace exercise where the ultimate results are burning carbohydrates and weighing less on the scale, and so, it is that Yoga is not for them.. Yoga is not for everyone.  And that's okay.

So, should you attend your first Yoga class and find that you're not quite sure, go back for a second and perhaps a third only to feel the same, then perhaps Yoga is not for you, and that's okay, because Yoga is not for everyone.
