Another Aventura Q!
Okay sorry for posting a million times tonight...
My doctor recommended that I start to go to yoga. I googled and found that there are quite a few yoga places in the area. Do any of you that live in Aventura or close to that area have any recs?
I would need a beginner's class and a studio that was flexible with me not participating in some poses, resting, maybe leaving early, etc. (basically letting me do my own thing if necessary). I also cannot do those heat classes...
TIA!!

I can't recommend a place, sorry. But maybe I can give some unsolicited advice on what to look for in a studio/type of yoga. So much yoga seems to be hybridized anyway, but if they truly classify the style that they teach, you probably want to avoid Bikram (hot yoga), Ashtanga, and maybe Power Yoga. Vinyasa (flow), hatha, and anusara are probably your best bets.
Your teacher is actually really important, as you can easily hurt yourself by doing poses with incorrect alignment (but you won't know it until after it is too late). You can tell if they are a good teacher, if they want to know if you have any prior injuries and if he/she gives you lots of attention and fixes your alignment during your first class.
I hope that helps a bit. Yoga is wonderful and very therapeutic.Thank you so much for the advice, Muddi! I used to go to yoga at the gym at my neighboring hospital and they were very understanding of your illnesses/injuries and were very helpful during poses. They also didn't push you if you weren't doing a certain pose and just let you rest in child pose. This is really what I am looking for...
Anyway, your terminology helped a lot! I can cut a few of the ones I was looking into out now.
Thanks again...
