Advice for a beginner?
So the sports centre at my university have started doing Ashtanga Yoga sessions every Monday. I am very interested in signing up to do them. However, the thing is I haven't ever done yoga before so I don't know what to expect. I don't want to be struggling whilst everyone in the class isn't.
Does anyone have any advice for a beginner at Yoga? |
You could search some online yoga exercises, as well as balancing, stretching, and pranayama (breathing) to do on your own before joining the class. Good luck on your yogini journey :hug3:

Amy, ashtANg yoga can be hard, especially for a beginner, unless the sessions are geared for beginners. I suggest starting with hatha yoga. hatha yoga is generally taught for different levels of ease or difficulty. Good luck and as the yogis like to say - namaste.

I agree start with hatha yoga it's much easier on the body starting off.

Thanks for the advice! The sports centre does do a Hatha Yoga class but it's when I'm in lectures. Anyone know any good sites where I can do a few practice Hatha Yoga poses/methods?

The least...practice stretching,this will be helpful.
Taking a class is the way to go,I took it upon myself to learn on my own-mess.:sad3: |
Do a couple online classes first. I started out with YouTube videos. This will at least show you what to expect. I actually prefer online videos because there is unlimited videos and always something new to try. Going to a yoga class once and a while is also good so you can get suggestions in person.
