I have some yoga questions and I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me, there seems to be a wealth of knowledge.

I'm just starting out with yoga, I used to be a dancer and I'm looking for something that has similar breath and strength properties without being dancing...  Personal thing, dancing (ballet in fact) has a tendancy to make me slightly obsessive.  So I've decided that yoga will give me similar strength and stretching and breathing.  I've set myself a little yoga challenge, to do at least 10 mins of yoga/T5T every day. 

Ok, enough of the intro, can anyone tell me how long it generally takes to become good at yoga?  If you are practicing a few times a week?  I know this is a very variable question but I am asking in general terms.  I'm happy if the answer is 6 months or 6 years, I just want to have an idea in my mind of how long it might take me to become an "accomplished" yoga person... 

If there are any good books etc out there that people can recommend that would be fantastic.  At the moment I've starting with a DVD of "Kabbalah Yoga" which I love because its challenging (better than the classes I've tried which I find a little boring most of the time- sorry, it sounds horrid but its true). 

Thanks

Thanks RGG, you are such an inspiration in so many ways! 

Ok, to clarify when I say good what I mean is not unco, you know that phase where you fall over all the time and feel totally uncordinated?  I certainly don't wish or need to be amazing, just better than useless

Awww shucks, cute is such a lovely word!

Oh wow, 6 months, thats so exciting because it is far better than I expected!  Thats just an awesome birthday present come early!

Thanks for your help RGG!
