Yoga For Beginners Poses

Walking into a yoga studio for the first time can be intimidating, so here are our tips to make it a little easier:

1. Most people arrive 10-15 minutes early to class and lie down on their yoga mat or do some stretches before class starts.

2. When you arrive, tell the teacher that this is your first yoga class and discuss any injuries or concerns you may have.

We understand that you probably don’t want to draw attention to the fact that you’re a yoga newbie or that you may have an injury, but we can tell from the first 2 minutes if you’ve done yoga before or not and we expect lots of beginners in our Vinyasa Basics classes. We also want to make sure that you don’t overdo it or hurt yourself if you have an injury and if you tell us before class, we can keep an eye on you and give you different modifications.

3. Place your yoga mat (you can borrow ours for free) where you can see the teacher.

We understand it’s tempting to hide in the back row but you won’t be able to see properly and you will find it harder to follow along.

4. No one actually cares about what you’re wearing, what you look like or what you can do in the pose.

Seriously. When you step into the yoga room, you might feel like everyone is watching you but they’re not, we promise! Most people are self-conscious and are hoping that no one is judging them. Most people are so focused on themselves that they don’t even notice other people in the room. Knowing that can make you feel less self-conscious. Also, during class everyone is just trying to figure out how to do the pose and breathe at the same time that they don’t care if you can touch your toes.

5. The class will usually start in a relaxing position- sitting or lying on the floor.

The teacher will ask you to focus on your body and your breath. You see a big part of yoga is learning how to get out of our head and into our body so there’s a huge emphasis on feeling and breathing in yoga.

6. After connecting to your body and your breath, you will do some warm-up stretches on the floor to prepare yourself for the practice.

Once you’ve warmed up, you will get up at the front of your mat for ‘sun salutations’. These are a feature of vinyasa-style yoga wherein you join your motion on your breath. Sun salutations warm up the spine, give a boost to the upper body and core and stretch the backbone and hamstrings. You will probably spend about half the magnificence doing status yoga poses which toughen and tone the legs and stretch the hips, groin, and backbone. You will probably start to sweat however we have air conditioning so it won’t be like a sauna.

7. During the magnificence, you will be invited to ‘take a spoil’ in the baby’s pose. This is a resting yoga pose, where you’re kneeling down along with your head at the floor.

You can take damage in an infant’s pose at any time. So if you sense out of breath, in case you want to capture your breath or in case you simply don’t sense like taking part, take an infant’s pose. The cool aspect approximately yoga is that the whole lot is non-compulsory. You gained be forced to do anything, you can take a seat down or lie down or maybe take a snooze in elegance if that’s what you need. Lots of students determine to nap in elegance and we encourage it.

8. Near the end of the elegance, you will do little stretches sitting down or mendacity down. This will feel top after you’ve warmed your body.

The very last pose in yoga is Savasana. This is finished mendacity down in your lower back, enjoyable. The trainer will play a track or possibly provide you with an eye pillow and you'll simply loosen up in stillness for approximately five mins. There’s nothing you want to do, Savasana is the time wherein you integrate all the blessings of the preceding poses. You may locate that you go with the flow off into sleep or possibly you write your buying listing on your head. It doesn’t count number, that is a while for your self.

9. After Savasana, you will come back to a sitting position. The elegance will chant the chant ‘Om’.

This is completely non-obligatory, you don’t should do it. Om creates a sound vibration that unifies the energy within the room and closes off the exercise. It’s a nod to the conventional lineage of yoga that is lots of years vintage and is the sound of the Universe. It’s truly calming on the apprehensive machine and facilitates to relax the mind But if you sense irritating or self-aware of chanting you don’t have to do it.
