By Helen Williams


Yoga, the Hindu spiritual discipline that uses a simplified form of meditation. Breathing methods with a fusion of specific bodily postures for relaxation and is an ideal stroke recovery therapy. The benefits include but are not limited to increased flexibility, weight reduction and improved muscle strength and tone. If the following words above have ignited a sense of intrigue, there are a few things make note of before joining a yoga class.

Once a place has been found, note that what you were to a yoga class means little as long as it adheres to these basic principles. It is decent and It is comfortable.This apples for both sexes.Be prepared to show off those toes whether you like them or not as yoga is done barefoot, so socks and gloves in the gym bag unless the instructor says otherwise.

Coming to class early not only makes a good impression but as a beginner it gives you time with the instructor to discuss any injuries you may have had in the past and for them to take note of anything that might aggravate them or much needed time to fill in any documentation. Also, the advantage of arriving early is being able to find a place with your mat you deem comfortable before the class commences.

Going to a yoga class on a full stomach is bad and so is going to a class on an empty one. The middle ground is eating a light snack or fruit 20 to 15 minutes before the class begins to avoid feeling light headed or bloated during the class.

Get to class early, this will do wonders. If a class is at 10:00 get there at 09:45 and if you re running late, get there at 09:50. Arriving early means that setting up shop for class is way easier, especially for beginners who often end up at the back of the room. And to avoid being bogged down by paperwork, missing crucial moments reserved for stretching at the beginning of a class and end up being noisy and disruptive when settling in afterwards.

Bring comfortable clothing. Pants that stretch are best as they allow for more flexibility. For females, the options are more varied and it s important to prioritise comfort over what s fashionable because the latest and greatest designer tops won t matter when your huffing and puffing in discomfort because of them. For men however, their choice of clothing is limited but long running tights are decent enough to make them presentable and comfortable.

Do some research learn some of the terms that will be used during the yoga class so that it doesn t feel confusing and disorienting.

Consider all of the words above a beginners guide to joining a yoga class. Of course these aren t all of them but some of the basic that can help a novice go a long way into making sure they stay committed to the program.
