A first yoga class can feel intimidating: you know neither the poses, nor the vocabulary, nor the habits of the group. The good news is that very little is needed to start well.
What to wear
Choose soft, close-fitting clothes in which you can raise your arms and bend forward comfortably: leggings or sports trousers and a not-too-loose T-shirt.
We practise barefoot. Bring a warm layer for the final relaxation: the body cools down quickly when you stay still.
Eating before class
Avoid a large meal in the two hours before class. A piece of fruit or a light snack an hour before is enough.
Drink water during the day and bring a bottle with you.
How the class runs
The class starts with a quiet moment to settle the breath, then a warm-up. Then come the postures, standing and then on the floor, and finally a relaxation lying down.
Do not know a pose? Watch, do the simple version, and feel free to ask questions at the end of class.
Listen to your body
Yoga is not a competition. A pose should feel comfortable and stable: if you feel sharp pain, come out of the pose gently.
Tell the teacher about any injury, pregnancy or health condition before the class starts.
