It is difficult in our busy lives to find a balance of yoga practice during our daily activities. To do this, one must stop thinking that we have to be in a class to do yoga. Enhance your practice by taking only a few minutes a day to focus on one or two postures and your breath. This can be done in as little as five or ten minute sessions. Allow this to become a regular part of your day.
Soon you will be doing 1 or 2 hours a day of yoga. Attend classes as often as possible. Find a teacher that is certified by a yoga school affiliated with Yoga Alliance (RYT - Registered Yoga Teacher). Tampa Yoga is but one of many good studios to offer certified teachers as well as training for teachers to advance their studies. Some athletic organizations offer quick weekend certifications that are more based upon the "gym" type of yoga that in my personal opinion are not yoga but more like aerobics with a different name. These are not always the best choices for someone who desires a yoga practice that includes the spiritual aspect as well as fitness benefits.
In "Hatha Yoga" we address body, mind and spirit to form the "union"that is Yoga. These are ancient practices that cannot be mastered in a weekend. It takes years of study and practice.
