I love Yoga! I'm not naturally graceful and I like the slower pace of yoga and tai chi where I can't maim others. (I'm fairly certain I'm banned from step class at my gym. )
It also helps when I'm running, which I need to get back into the swing of as I have gotten lazy over the summer.
Oh, I'm sure my opponent would suffer more harm from laughing than any damage I could actually inflict.
But, seriously, I live in a smallish town and Tai Chi isn't really available other than with a group of 70 year olds. At least with them, I look like I might have a clue what I'm doing. I wish a real class were available. I've been interested in it since I took a self defense class in college and our instructor always threw in a little Tai Chi to open and close.

Yeah, that happens.

It's not quite as popular as McDonalds yet, so yes, it's often hard to find a good instructor.
I'd advise moving to northeast Pennsylvania - I hear there's a regular wizard there...
I'm going to start back up soon. I took a couple classes is college that were interesting, and now that I have more time I want to start going to a local studio. I have health problems that make cardio difficult for me, and I find yoga just the right type of exercise. I'm the type that would never think of exercising at home, but if it's a set class I'll go! I've done a little Hatha yoga, and then a class that seemed to combine quite a few types (the instructor taught out of a book so I wasn't too impressed). The place near me I want to try does mainly Bikram. Sounds mighty nice once it starts to get cold around here.
