PRACTICING Y O G A :o)))

by Aquamantos

More than a "sport" Yoga is a discipline.Many people who practice it, can do it everywhere. Here in Chile we have so many wonderful places for this!!, specially beaches and valleys.Some other people feel better with an instructor or practicing it in a Yoga School.There are a few different types of Yoga, so depending on your interests, you'll be partial to one of those.Some good web sites:- www.yogashala.cl- www.escuelayogaclasico.cl- www.kundaliniyogachile.clI have a wonderful instructor here in La Serena, her name is Carolina Silva, and you can reach her at: Tel.: 56-51-270 567 Cotton comfy clothing

Chile is some of the best countries for rafting.
