It’s about you

As with most other exercise forms, yoga isn’t a competition. Yoga is a work in progress.  It’s about challenging yourself to reach further or stretch longer, etc.

It’s not all about bends and stretches

Part of yoga is about bending and flexibility.  But what needs to be flexible is your mind and how you approach yoga as a discipline.

Use props

The props available in yoga such as straps or blocks do not make you less advanced than others.  Using them means you are aware of your body’s limits.

You can take a break

No one will judge you if you assume the Child’s Pose when it becomes intense or if you choose to have a water break.

It’s not always easy

Some of the poses in yoga are hard.  Be prepared to fail before you succeed, just like everyone else.

It’s not just about your body

Yoga creates a sense of inner peace and mindfulness that other exercise forms just don’t.

You don’t need to be flexible

Being flexible is definitely a plus when it comes to yoga. However, it isn’t necessary. If you cannot do basic poses, there are tools to help you.

Join a beginner’s class

As a newbie, you should join a beginner’s class. No matter how fit you are, you should start from the basics. Jumping this process can lead to injury.

Ask questions

Always ask questions if you have problems. Also, if you have health issues, your instructor should be informed.

Learn the safety pose

If you feel pain, take the child’s pose. This is the timeout pose, and it is done by placing your knees on the yoga mat and lowering your chest on your legs while dropping your head.

Find the best style for you

Try out all the different styles in yoga and pick the one you like best. It is better to attend at least two different classes in a week. Trying out two different teachers will make it easier for you and you’ll find a style that suits you in no time.
