How to get started with self-study yoga?
There are three ways to start practicing:

1) find a teacher to teach face to face.

2) Start with VCD.

3) Start with books

It is best to have a teacher teach you face to face, and your questions can be answered in time, but it is not easy to find in China at present. It is also feasible to practice reading with VCD. At present, many people in China started from books and VCDs. But this kind of communication must be strengthened to avoid the deviation of understanding books.
