My name is Olga and I recently started my Ashtanga yoga practice (September 2012). This blog is for sharing my beginner experience, falls and rises and general bla-bla. I'm quite a lazy girl and also tend to give up anything if I don't succeed in a short run. Hope Ashtanga yoga will help me with this and tame my unorganizedness.
I live in Ukraine and discovered Ashtanga yoga by chance really since I was looking for morning classes to replace my evening hatha-yoga sessions which I couldn't manage to attend. So now I wake up every morning at 6.30 and go for my practice at 8. My teacher Tanya is very helpful yet demanding. There is nothing like "Oh, I can't bend that low", there is "Yes, you can", and with this she comes up and pushes you down :) However if something really hurts - she'll never insist. Of course at one point or another muscles hurt a bit as they are stretching but that's not the kind of a serious pain so I just have to get over it and next time I'll do the stretch without any problem.
