"Yoga is for everybody. Yoga is not about how flexible you are. It is about stretching your body and spine in all directions. All that matter is that you try the right way, go to your personal 'edge' and you will get 100% of the benefit. What you get from a yoga class is what you put into it. No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga. It's never too late"

If your yoga school had a grading scale you'd make straight As. You've found
a yoga style that resonates with you, so you devour every morsel of information
that comes from your teachers' lips and apply it to your practice. You've read
all the books, twice. You put your mat down in the same place in every class,
and your best friends are all the people who put their mats down beside yours
(they're yoga geeks, too).
But be mindful not to leave others out of your unique community. Beginning
students and followers of other yoga disciplines have a lot to offer, too.
Welcome them warmly, and keep an open mind about what you can glean from a
new perspective.

(padmasana, 2008, http://www. redbubble. com/people/karmym/) take the time to try a meditation. you have nothing other to do - just sit and breath, sit and breath, sit and breath. close your eyes, sit and breath and so on :-) take your time and experience the concentration you need just for sitting and breathing and dont go after a thought. stop thinking - just notice your breath. this concentration is the first step for meditation.
(yogacandle, 2008, http://karmym. imagekind. com/) the yoga shoulderstand (sarvangasana) brings you in balance. after meditation in front of candle light you will find this clearness in you.
