Starting a Yoga Classes – Know Few Points

The word 'yoga' means 'union' - unite every part of ourselves - so we can feel inner peace. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Anniston, Meg Ryan, and Cameron Diaz swore with Yoga to help them focus, lose weight or stop smoking.

What is your motivation to start a yoga class?

First of all, ask yourself why you are interested in starting yoga classes. Do you want to reduce stress? Get hard and super-fit? Remove your back pain or neck? Calm your mind? Contact with your inner insight? Be honest with yourself, because these questions will help you find the right style for your type.

Choose the right yoga school

There are lots of yoga styles around, and each has different benefits. Some (like Astanga Vinyasa Yoga) very physically demanding, others are held in hot spaces (Bikram yoga), while some focus on softer therapy movements (drum yoga) or meditation and songs (kundalini). Some generic hatha yoga classes, which might be quite soft and can be accessed for most of the fitness level. You can also search for a yoga studio for online yoga classes from various internet sources.

Get to know about the teacher

Before you commit to the term yoga class, set to meet Yoga teachers and discuss your needs. Ask questions too - Check whether they qualify with yoga schools that are accredited with international bodies such as the Alliance Yoga.

Check what their attitude is for salvation because many people are injured every year from stretching or tension when they are not ready. Do your teacher offer modifications and contra-indications for each posture? Is there an adequate relaxation period (Savasana) at the end of the class?

Find a location that is suitable for you

If you are going to the yoga class, then select a realistic location. I have seen so many students attending classes enthusiastically at the beginning of September, just to decide that it was too far away when a cold and dark night arranged. Some people like traveling for one hour to find the teacher they like, but for others, choosing classes in the village hall they work better.

Get the right equipment

For most classes, you will need a yoga mat and comfortable clothes, and a bottle of water. Some dynamic classes need towels (to clean all sweat!) While others encourage you to carry a blanket or shawl for meditation. For your first class, you might not need to come out and buy all the equipment - talk to your Yoga teacher and he will advise you what is needed. Some teachers have backup mats to lend to new students - which can help until you are committed.




Take the time to practice at home

Even better than attending yoga classes once a week experiencing ordinary home yoga exercises. In the yoga retreat I taught in Wales, I always suggest finding a quiet place at home, and just do ten minutes of yoga and meditation every day! There are many Yoga DVDs and books around that can help with exercise in your home, or you can subscribe to online yoga classes.

By doing ordinary yoga, you will feel fitter, calmer, and more focused - and able to deal with every day emphasizing much easier. I hope the best of luck in your yoga journey!
