I'm a certified yoga instructor specializing in Bikram Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Children's Yoga. My style of teaching emphasizes a safe, supportive environment in which students can explore, be challenged, and find their own inner teacher. I want students to emerge from the classes feeling relaxed, open and alive. Ask me anything about yoga. Anything!
I can understand the thought of trying yoga for the first time to be intimidating. I was intimidated my first time! My first experience with yoga was at a Vinyasa studio in New York. It was a very basic flow, and the teaching was great. I think it's important to note that any studio that offers a certain style of yoga, will most likely have a class catered to beginners. My recommendation is to try a vinyasa class, and just go for it! Everyone is a beginner at some point with everything. Yoga is a practice, nothing more. You will always be learning, as I am still learning. When you go in there, listen with your whole body and you will be great.

Hi Dave. I don't have an answer for you because I don't have experience in Kundalini Yoga or the 3rd eye.

First, make sure you can understand the difference between pain and discomfort. There will often be discomfort in yoga as you seek to reverse the effects of a lifetime of stress on the muscles. If you have very tight hamstrings, you will most likely feel discomfort but don't push the stretch. Rather, hold the posture for 10 deep breaths. Every time you inhale, think about the muscle or area that you're trying to open. Every time you exhale, settle into the space you've just created. After doing that for 10 breaths, take a break or do another pose. Then come back to a hamstring stretch. With a regular practice (commitment), you WILL see change.

Sorry to hear about your right hand, but there is definitely a solution. I have been practicing and teaching Bikram hot yoga for about 10 years. It has completely healed my injuries and has done the same for countless others. It is definitely low impact on the wrist, and there is one particular posture in the series that focuses on healing the skeletal structure of the elbows, wrists and hands. I would highly recommend trying it.

Loosening the hamstrings will most likely be an ongoing process for you. Consistency is key. Practicing forward fold, seated forward fold, and downward facing dog daily will help you to open the hamstrings. Most important is the BREATH! Breathe very deeply for ten breaths when holding these postures. Every exhale, move a little bit further into the stretch (and that could be less than a millimeter).
