How to Start Yoga Like You�re an Expert

Sharing is caring!

Yoga is intimidating for most beginners, if not all. If you speak with an expert, you’ll probably hear how it was the best thing that happened to them and how it transformed their lives. While those complex moves seem daunting at first, it is important to start your first yoga class with the present air that you’ve been there before.

Where to Go to Class

You may not want to take a course at all, as there are several online options and fitness videos. However, yoga classes are a great way to personally meet with a yoga teacher if you need that sort of guidance. Where and how you attend a yoga class will depend on your own needs and feelings about undertaking this fitness practice.

Understand the Terms

As you may have already figured out, there are various types of yoga. Much more than basic stretches and a downward dog, there are several kinds of yoga for you to choose from. Classes that you encounter may label themselves power yoga, classical yoga, Bikram and vinyasa style yoga (which takes place in an extremely warm room) are just a few. Each type comes from Hatha yoga techniques but is quite different.

You can try a beginner’s yoga class, or you can take a few different classes to find which one works best for you. Classical yoga is often a great way to start, get a proper feel for yoga, and move on from there.

The Correct Mindset

Don’t be intimidated by the various types of yoga, your initial inability to stand on your head, or other more experienced students in the classes that you sign up for. It is important you understand that yoga, pursuing a sense of mindfulness, is not a matter of skill but of time. Breath is linked to movement, and it is important to focus on yourself and your body
