Katie, I haven't actually heard of grokker till today! Thank you .....I'll have a look. I have collected quite a bit of yoga resources over the years and I will be glad to share it with you. : ) (I'll pm you the weekend!) The alignment focused schools are iyengar, classical hatha like sivananada, kripalu (this is where I started on paper & I still like moon flows), anusara and integrative. There are, of course, others. Yin as you probably know, is also very alignment & release focused although I find there are many knock-offs of it being taught around. Yin isn't just holding a pose for as long as you can. Alignment is where I started, I love alignment and intention focused practice as it has the ability to also tap into an emotional practice. I will, however, admit that I went to a couple of rope Iyengar classes and found it TOO perfectionist. lol. Everyone has their preferences and of course it feels fluid. I think if you want to deeply delve into anatomy and alignment, looking for asana labs in your community would be beneficial. I have the anatomy of yoga books which are also very, very helpful and enjoyable.
Last night, I did another yoga practice & added some ankle weight leg work afterwards. Was gonna do a cardio workout today but am feeling far too hot, so taking it easy and will start again tomorrow.
Glad to know I am not alone in not being into To Tha Max at all. I was thinking 'but EVERYone loves that one!'. LOL.
