Yoga Explained
A beginners guide to start yoga at any age
-
Find a class: Look for a yoga class that is appropriate for beginners, such as a “gentle” or “beginner’s” class. This will ensure that the instructor is experienced in working with people who are new to yoga and can guide you through the basics.
-
Get the right gear: You don’t need much to start practicing yoga. Comfortable clothes that allow for movement and a yoga mat are all you need.
-
Be open to modifications: It’s important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard. If a pose is uncomfortable or you’re not able to do it, don’t be afraid to ask the instructor for modifications or adjustments.
-
Take it easy: Yoga is not a competitive sport, so don’t compare yourself to others in the class. Focus on your own practice and be mindful of your breath.
-
Practice consistently: Like any physical activity, the more you practice yoga, the more you’ll get out of it. Try to practice at least a few times a week to see the most benefits.
-
Be patient: Yoga is a practice that takes time and patience to develop. Be kind to yourself and don’t expect to see results overnight.
-
Seek guidance: It’s always a good idea to learn from an experienced teacher rather than just following videos. A teacher can give you feedback and adjustments to help improve your practice.
