Here are some questions we get a lot from people who have never tried yoga before:
⭐️ I’m not stretchy and can’t touch my toes, is yoga for me? ⭐️
YES! That is the whole point, you join a yoga class to gain flexibility, mobility and strength. Loads of yogi’s can't touch their toes but they still benefited from a regular yoga practice.
⭐️ I can’t meditate so I won’t be very good. ⭐️
Yoga isn’t about being good or not, its non-competitive. The reason yoga and meditation are called ‘Practices’ is because that is exactly what they are. An exercise that you keep trying on a regular basis again and again regardless of the result. Each yoga class involves a little bit of meditation and it’s a great way to bring meditation into your life as a beginner, if you feel you don’t know where to start on your own.
⭐️ How many yoga sessions do I need to do per week? ⭐️
As many as possible! But of course, that is not possible for most people so we would recommend 2 classes per week as a minimum in order to really start to notice a difference in yourself.
⭐️ How can yoga benefit me? ⭐️
A regular yoga practice builds physical strength and stamina, and flexibility and mobility in tight joints. Yoga also helps with anxiety, supports calmness of mind where the ‘rest and digest’ automatic response kicks in, helping recovery and lowering blood pressure, breathing rate and heart rate as well as triggering other functions like digestion. This also leads to better sleep and mindfulness.
⭐️ I’m really unfit, how do I know which class to join? ⭐️
If you are a beginner or feel that your level of fitness is not where it should be yet, we would recommend our Hatha for All classes as well as our Yin classes. These are gentle classes that will allow you to ease into it, after that you could try our Hot Yoga or Vinyasa are more dynamic and much more challenging.
