One thing you mentioned, about how your weekly class sometimes concentrated on precision and form, really resonated with me. I've been practicing yoga for about a year and a half and really love it, but have not really gotten any specific guidance on my alignment or technique or form -- my group classes at the gym just don't ever go there. I worry that I have developed some really bad habits!

There is an authentic yoga studio about 30 miles away that I thought I might try this fall when I have more free time (after my youngest leaves for college :), just to see if they do things any differently.

Anyway, I picked up a Richard Freeman DVD series on Ashtanga, and hope to start working through it in July. Your Yoga Today suggestion also looked very cool, but I'll have to figure out a way to roll out my mat near my computer.

You're absolutely right, sometimes we should just focus on our breath and enjoy life.

I really should get around to memorising the ashtanga terms myself ("That forward bending one with the arms that hurt" doesn't really help my teacher much...)
