You continue to enlighten and thrill Jessica…thanks so much
As a wee yoga studio operator in Dunedin, just wondering how people feel about yoga together in a space, but not proscribed (i.e. free to meditate, laze about, work as hard as you please etc). Thought about initiating this last year but didnt happen – would you come to a free session of yoga togetherness? Feel free to leave your bra with your shoes
Jessica, I just love your writing style! This article is wonderfully balanced – we get a clear sense of your personal views and experience without feeling that someone else’s preferences have been belittled. You are clear and articulate while also making me laugh. I just think you are a stellar writer and I’m so grateful that we get to read your great writing here at our local yoga water-cooler.
Cheers!

Great post! I have only taken a few yoga class, despite the fact that I’ve been doing yoga on and off for almost 15 years now. I long to take a class, but, when it comes down to it, DVDs and books seem to work best for me. When I have that 45 minutes of time to do yoga I can do it. Right then. No planning, no going anywhere, no deciding what to wear. I do long for that vibe that only a class can give me though. We’ll see. One day soon I’ll hit a class. Until then, Shiva Rea and Bryan Kest DVDs are my yoga friends.
Hi Jessica,
I’m totally with Marianne – your writing rocks!
I’m still struggling to maintain a consistent home practice; I sometimes find myself yearning for the group energy.
Thanks for the article. Maybe we can meet someday when I’m back in NZ.

Hey Jessica,
Once again, your writing hits a chord. I reckon Emma’s on to something – group practice in the style of home practice. Everyone together separate!
I must admit too, I laughed out loud a couple of times reading your article. And that rocks! Bring on more laughter yoga.
Blessings,
KL
i love practicing at home with no bra!! i pretty much throw on yoga pants and wear whatever tank top i had on at work that day. i’m still a little afraid of practicing in jammie pants. they are a little long and i’m not sure i want to meet my mat face to face if i trip. i find i like both yoga classes and home practice. a good balance of both.
