I hope you get into it, and if you do, you should consider going to some classes. Doing it by yourself in front of a screen is good, but nothing beats the environment of a class with others. It's hard to describe, since you don't really interact with everyone, but there's a certain energy you get - you can stretch a bit farther and relax a bit more deeply. Plus, you may think you're doing things correctly, but a good instructor can spot even the smallest misalignments.

That is very good advice, thank you. I have anxiety issues, so being able to prep on the terminology and basics actually does give me the incentive to go out to a real class. Which is something I've always wanted to do, but haven't been up to before. It's very difficult for me to productively receive instruction from somebody when I know absolutely nothing about the topic -- it's probably some sort of weird childhood conditioning thing.

At any rate, yes. Your advice is very good :)
