If racing to yoga class is taking the bliss out of your downward facing dog, check out yogaglo.com.

At a mere $18 a month, you can take several deep breaths in the comfort of wherever you may be, by following a Level 1, 2 or 3 class via the Internet.  As long as you’re online, you’re in. I probably wouldn’t recommend it to first-timers, but to anyone who has experienced yoga and already received first-hand guidance from an expert. As any beginner can attest, there’s oftentimes the need for subtle corrections.

Speaking of beginners, if you’re looking to dip your toe in the yoga pool before diving in, now may be the perfect time.  September happens to be national yoga month and several studios are offering free classes for true beginners. Aspiring yogis can sign up for a week of free classes at participating studios, (good through November 1), @ yogamonth.org. namaste.
