Found out we had yoga and just got done with my first class.

So I decided to check around and it turns out we have a yoga class in the town where I live. I just got done with my first class, it was nice I sweated more than I ever have doing taichi and qigong. So my question for you guys is if the instructer is not cerified to teach sould I continue to take classes from her? She just has been doing yoga for a while and kind of picked it up along the way.

Most yoga certifications are a joke, so I say it's not a problem to take her classes. Just have some common sense...like don't stretch something too far, because yoga injuries are very common.

 

Even certified teachers often don't know the basics of the human body, and will push people too far. Be extremely gentle with yourself in terms of how far you stretch.

Agree with Scotty. While it is possible to do yourself damage, certification does not necessarily mean safety or even basic correct skills.

 

As long as you are having fun, take it slowly and breathe. I say go for it.
