New to Yoga? What to Expect..
One of the most important things you can do in your first yoga class is to tell your teacher that you're new. This way, you get to introduce yourself and let them know about any injuries or areas of focus for your body that you would like them to be aware of. Each yoga class tends to have a different feel and vibe according to the teacher but typically classes start with breath-work and stretching to warm-up the body, followed by some energy work where you engage into different movements and postures of your body. By the end of the class you’ll lie on the floor, breathing in that beautiful dreamland yogis like to refer to as 'Savasana.' |
