Are you new to yoga? 5 tips for starting yoga

Can it be intimidating to know that you know nothing about yoga and don't even know where it started? Before starting anything new, anxiety is a common feeling.

Tip 1: Remember why you are starting yoga

It would be good to remember why you decided to start practicing yoga. Is it exercise in your life?

Increase body flexibility? or to improve health. Maybe you're looking for tools to calm your stress and overworked mind.

Tip 2: Find a class and teacher you like 

This is one of the most important things that will help you stay motivated in your yoga practice. It also helps a lot to get to know the teacher and his teaching method, which style of yoga he lifts.

Tip 3: Know what to prepare before class 

Try to avoid heavy meals 1-2 hours before class. This will allow you to practice freely on the yoga mat. In the yoga room you will find all exercise equipment (yoga mat, block, belt, pillows and blanket), as well as tea and water.

Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Please leave your shoes at the door and wear socks when entering the studio. I recommend you to exercise with bare feet, but you can also use socks.

Tip 4: Practice makes perfect 

Try at least 5 yoga classes before deciding if you want to practice yoga regularly. Each time you begin to learn more about how your body should move in yoga poses. How to breathe and relax.

Tip 5: Get individualized instruction 

Since your body is unique and you have your own rhythm, it will be very helpful to create an individualized training program based on your needs.
