Hi!
What kind of yoga will you be learning?
I ask because I've noticed that most yoga practice around these parts seems to focus on meditation only, rather than other aspects like yogasana. I mostly practice ashtanga and power yoga.
I'll be doing Hatha Yoga at the Integral Institute. I am surprised to hear that the places you see are focused entirely on meditation. It is a central part of Yoga, but the Asanas are vital in preparation for meditation, as well as for toning internal organs, balancing the bodies systems, stimulating clean blood flow and breaking up toxins, etc.
I chose Integral because the focus is 60% Asanas and the rest is on Anatomy, philosophy, meditation and even Sanskrit Study.
