you meditate at 18? WOW. anyway, richard hettleman , i'm not sure if i've got the first name or spelling right, but you can google it down, has a book which combines all kinds of  asanas  and teaches you yoga in 28 days. It's an extremely old, but popular book.Might be what you're looking for.

I haven't heard anything about Pilates having the same spiritual connotations as yoga.  I just know that Pilates focuses on your core.

all yoga is the same thing.\npeople try to give it different names, and ways to do it. but the original yoga had everything in it...\nEVERYTHING...all the current yogas came from one nameless source...\nwhere can you find yoga girls? i dunno.. i dont look for them as I am married. But the term TAO could be applyed to any yoga as long as the practitioner understands the principles.\nYoga is what you make it...\nthats what makes it so great...\nEveryones view of it is different

Hi raina,\n\nI, too, have the challange of living with FMS. I use walking for excercise. I never thought of yoga, but after doing a little research, it may be something I will look into, too.\n\nHere are some interesting websites I found, I hope you will find them helpful:\n\nhttp://www.yogaforwellnesspro.com/fibro2.html\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/health/1301.cfm\nhttp://www.remedyfind.com/rem.asp?id=573\n\nI searched under the words: FMS yoga, if you wish to do your own search.\n\nI really empathize with you and hope the best for you.\n\nP.S. Welcome to Y Answers! I hope you join in the fun and answer questions, too.

Try yoga, mind-cleansing. The Yogic way of life includes a code of regulations, ethics, self-discipline and much more, combined with prayer and meditation. Breathing techniques are essential to successful yoga sessions, so be sure to do some research.\n\nGood luck.

I had excellent results with a video tape called "Yoga for Weight Loss".  Here's a link, but it is available all over:\n\nhttp://www.fogdog.com/fog-gaiam-am-yoga-for-weight-loss-kit--pi-1736103.html\n\nI also think that the Yoga Journal's Pose Finder is awesome - and for weight loss I would look for poses for the abdomen and the thyroid (to increase metabolism):\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/poses/index.cfm?ctsrc=welcome\n\nI also searched Yoga Journal for weight loss and came up with several articles:  \n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/search.cfm\n\nPeace!

The word "yoga" means to yoke or union.  Yoga is considered one of the orthodox systems of philosophy in India.  Many people today know yoga only as the physical postures, but there are other paths that yogis have used in order to achieve enlightenment.\n\nClick on this link for an explanation on the different branches of yoga:\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/newtoyoga/157_1.cfm\n\nFor the different sytles of Hatha Yoga (which includes the physical postures, or asanas) read this article as well:\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/newtoyoga/165_1.cfm

I would recommend a Thai yoga massage course in Thailand.\nThis course involves yoga and meditation every morning, and learning Thai massage during the day. By the time you have completed the course, which you can do several times with different teachers, you are able to give massages to others, and therefore have an independent way of earning a living.\nAdditionally, during the time there, with yoga every day, your yoga techniques will be improved, and you will have met many people who have been on other yoga retreats around the world, and will receive the best knowledge available.\n\nThe setting for these courses is unique, and an experience on itself.\n\n\nhttp://www.thaiyogamassage.infothai.com/

Yoga is a great way to work on flexibility.  And as yoga is rather popular these days, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a yoga class in your area.

Have you ever considered yoga? It's incredibly beneficial - great exercise, soothing, relaxing, stress relieving, and will help improve confidence and posture. \n\nThere are a LOT of yoga teachers out there these days and a LOT of different styles and teaching techniques. You don't have to go to a touchy-feely, chanting type class if you're not into that sort of thing. There are even classes just for women (in case you're like me and would rather not do downward dog in front of a guy). \n\nI highly recommend taking a class instead of following along with a tape, though. At least to start. There are a lot of subtle adjustments to the postures that help you get the most out of yoga and it's incredibly difficult (maybe impossible) to get that from a tape if you've never had anyone help you with it first.\n\nwww.yogajournal.com is a decent place to do some research, but the nice folks who run it are a little hardcore - there's a lot of lighter yoga out there to start out with. I included a link to the Yoga 101 section in case you're curious!  :)
