Katie, I learned yoga initially from the Sidde Yoga Ashram on Wayne Avenue at Lincoln Drive. They teach Hatha Yoga and after experiencing other types such as Iyengar and Daoist yoga, I can tell you that true Hatha is the most energizing of all, at least for my body and spirit. At the University City Arts League, our yoga class was situated directly beneath a dance class teaching square-dancing or Ukranian Folk Dancing or something similar to make the rafters shake. After being at the Ashram and practicing yoga on a thick padded rug, lovely incense and blessed quiet, it was really frightful. What ended up being the most practical for me because I work in center city was the Jefferson Hospital Community Health Program. It sponsored a yoga class - the Daoist one - taught by an excellent instructor named Deanna McLaughlin who also taught at 12th Street Gym. She is now teaching at a place on Walnut near 21st.

IF you are taking your first yoga class, it might be difficult to decide which you want. I have taken Iyenger from Colin Earl on Buckingham. I like him. I took classes over a year ago and I still find things that he taught me useful. He knows alot about anatomy and has a good eye for what is happening with bodies.
