Yoga Teacher Training
I am looking at starting my yoga teacher training certification, but am not sure which direction to go. The studio I go to isn't my favorite so I know I don't want to go through them.

Yoga Clothes
Hey, I just started taking yoga classes, but I've been doing yoga off and on with videos and podcasts for years.

But now that I'm taking classes I've been trying to dress cute AND functional. But…

This site says for my weight I burn191 calories for 75 minutes of yoga, but my yoga teachers tell me I'm probably burning more like 300 and up to 600 for the 75 minute class. I do hot vinyasa yoga. I know it's more vigorous than hatha yoga because it's also a lot of cardio. Just…
