This means no attending the studio as often as I do. I'll probably only attend once a week or fortnight. Will I still be able to progress by doing this? I mean by doing home practices 6 days a week? Do any others do this?

There are pros and cons of course. Pros: you don't become reliant on a teacher for adjustements and you become very resourceful. Cons: Injury is more likely, so you have to take things much slower and listen to your body more. I would advise trying to see a teacher once in a while though if possible, just to make sure you haven't taken tangents in your practice :-)

I'm also not convinced injuries are more likely if you are careful. You will be less competitive and have fewer distractions (and adjustments). It will be challenging, though.

Definitely now after a few years of practice and after an injury in a class setting i am kinda allergic to classes unless its with someone i trust fully, but in the early days i would have liked more guidance from a good teacher..but ya i hear ya...

Progress...depends what you call progress! If a home practice teaches you to go inward and get on the mat every day even when your bed is calling you back, I'd say that is pretty good progress.

I acknowledge that it's very different to being around people for asana practise, i guess I'm just fearing the transition. I will be making it more comfortable for myself to do home practise by having a room set aside for yoga and meditation. There is also a lot to look forward to and change can either hard or easy depending how I make it. I imagine progression in the asanas (which is not a goal, i know) will be slower without a teacher adjusting in supta kurmasana and so forth. Do I just keep practising and then one day can do it? Thnaks for your support
