I try to get to a class about once a week, and learn something new every time. The instructor finally got me to do a successful Tree Pose yesterday! I usually have trouble getting my foot to stick to my upper leg without the use of double sided tape. I've never done anything but Iyengar so I don't have much to compare to. I know we use a lot of block and tackle to help get us into a pose without hurting ourselves.

When I practice at home, I stick to easy stuff, with a focus on just stretching and working on areas that feel like they need work.

One thing that's kind of nice about yoga is it's not so competitive. You do what you can do, and that's ok.
