Meet the Teacher
Jason Crandell is the Yoga Director at The San Francisco Bay Club, a regular presenter at Yoga Journal conferences, and staff instructor at Yoga Journal magazine. He has been the Yoga Journal’s "Basics" columnist and has been featured in Natural Health, Yoga For Everybody, 7x7, and San Francisco Magazine.

But, more than any other qualifier, Jason just really loves to practice and teach.
"It is teachers and practitioners like Jason that will take the art of yoga and teaching yoga to its next step." Rodney Yee
"(Jason) has a knack for explaining extremely subtle body movements in a way that anyone can understand. With his low-key charm and deadpan humor, Crandell puts students at ease right away." Yoga Journal
"The best. His patience and knowledge of backbends was worth the whole cost of the conference." Beginning student attending 2006 San Francisco Yoga Journal Conference

Hi.
I have been loosely following this blog at YJ. It's quite exciting, because you have selected so different people. But what kind of yoga have Leah, Edith and Mark been "prescriped", so to speak? Is it ashtanga vinyasa flow like? Is it the same for all of them? Is it possible to describe it for us?
I have been having some personal troubles finding the right style for myself to practice. I feel that all styles have something to offer and being both healthy and in good shape, I could start out with any style. But choosing one would discard all the rest! This is difficult.
Besides how do you choose a style for others? Should the person learn and change with the style or should the style be choosen so as to support that person where he/she is now? Mold the person to fit the style or the other way round? I think that is both a fundanmental and a difficult question to answer, when it comes to yoga. Perhaps you folks at YJ, could shed some light on this?
