Eric,

From your previous posts I tried to check in Qi gong around here and found no teachers near by.

My latest thing has been to try out a different yoga teacher each week to find one that I like.

Last week was Bikram, in the really hot room, to work more on asanas more than pranayama. I am not sure how much of a work out my lungs got, but I sure sweated a lot and I felt much more flexible and smoother in the pool the next night while working on my dolphin kick. One of the teachers there suggested a different studio to try Astanga.
This week I tried the Astanga teacher, but she told me to come to her Forrest yoga class instead. Last night we worked a lot on rib cage flexibilty. I may stay with this teacher unless there are other styles that you, or any others out there!, could recommend I check into first.
I had never heard of Forrest yoga until this week. There seem to be lots of yoga centers around here, but not Qi gong. Do I really need to work with a yoga instructor to stretch my rib cage, or can I just do pack stretches on my own to achieve the same results?

Thanks for any input,

Jon
