As a Yoga Teacher I says that you can do on your own but some times if you lose your control while performing Asanas it may leads to very dangerous situations. In this you need a master to guide you to do in a perfect way & results will be amazing. I suggest you to join any yoga classes like Yoga institutions, etc and learn how to do asanas and when to relax, when to go for next Asana etc. I hope this will be useful to you. Thank you. read less

Yes you can , the best teacher is yourself but the objective is important.. People join yoga classes so that they have a group and practicing with like minded souls enhances the positive effects. Join demo clasees nearby and i bet you will go again due to the positive energy of the people you meet.
