Practice

Class work will produce average students, but the super yogis have to pay a lot of attention 
to the way the asanas are done. This can only be done effectively in the privacy 
of your own space and time. - Bishnu Ghosh
  1. Practice is paramount to progress in Yoga. 
  2. Practice every day (or at least most days).
  3. The best and most honest way to practice is by one's self. 
  4. Seek the guidance of a teacher about once per week to correct your bad habits, keep you on the proper path, guide your progress, and offer new techniques and practices as you advance.
  5. The guidance of a teacher is especially important at the beginning, when you are setting out on the path.
