YOGA FOR BEGINNERSLooking for a Class
Even though you’re probably full of information on yoga,
meditation, the poses, the practice, and philosophy, you still
might find yourself wanting more. In this case, consider
branching out. Seeking out a yoga teacher or a class locally
should be an exciting step in your practice. It will help
you deepen your understanding of yoga and further your
knowledge of the poses.
Public classes can be amazing, especially when you find
the right one. However, they can be intimidating, especially
for newer students. That’s why I want to give you some help-
ful tips on what to do the first time you go to a public class.
What to Bring
Bring your mat and possibly a towel and water bottle. If you
do not have a mat, most studios will have one you can either
rent or borrow. The studio will provide any props you might
need, so don’t worry about bringing blocks, a strap, or any-
thing else.
What to Wear
Wear appropriate yoga clothes. This should be something
you feel comfortable moving in but does not slip off your
body or become see-through when bending over. You
want to feel good in whatever you’re wearing, but it should
not take you hours to find the perfect outfit. The clothes
you wear should support the practice you’re doing, not
distract from it.
