But make sure you have a good teacher - there are some dodgy ones out there.

I'm still trying to decide if i should keep trying or give it up. Is it ever going to feel better or should i stick to yoga where i actually know what i'm doing? problem is, yoga is never going to get rid of my muffin top.
