yoga for night owls?
Saturday, August 14, 2010 at 4:08PM sure, the early bird gets to yoga in the a.m., but let's not forget about the night owls, they are equally great yogis too.
i need your help! if there were hypothetically a late night yoga class, would you be more inclined to show up on the mat?
please take a second (literally) and cast your vote:

I have never taken a yoga class past 7:15 p.m. I'm curious to hear from some of you - what it is like to take a class at 9 or 10 pm at night? I would think it would be hard to fall asleep after that! Does the instructor tone the class down at the end to get everyone in a more relaxed state?
hi maria,
great question! you can still have a strong class which is great because your body is the most flexible in the evening since you've been moving around all day! then, i like to wind down to more calming introspective poses towards (think forward folds and seated/reclining poses) the end of class so that savasana is like a cool down for bedtime. tea after class is also great ;)
thanks so much for your question!

Jenn - thanks for the response!
I posted a blog today about morning yoga. Kind of funny that I was thinking about morning yoga - while you were focusing on evening yoga! I guess yoga rocks anytime of the day!
