Do you spend your days researching and filling out spreadsheets and looking into internet providers and you long to get away from the computer screen? Yoga is a great way to relax and unwind and you don’t have to be intimidated if you’re new to the sport. Here are a few tips for first time yogis:
Pick the Right Studio: Call around to see who offers a truly “beginner” class and who’s really welcoming to new students. You don’t want to be the only newbie in class and the right instructor will make you feel right at home.
Get the Right Gear: You’ll need form fitting yoga pants and sleeveless tops – nothing you’d wear to do cardio. Make sure you’ve got a yoga mat, too, and while you’re at it don’t forget a no-slip carpet pad for your mat as well. Only real yoga students have them.
Start at Home: If you’re too intimidated to actually visit a class, get a yoga video and practice up at home first. There are some great first time tutorials online and in-store and they can prepare you to perform the sport in front of others.
