It's best to wear comfortable and stretchy clothing that allows you to move freely. Yoga pants or leggings and a fitted top are commonly worn.
It's recommended to bring your own yoga mat to class for hygiene purposes. However, I can provide mats for student use for the first time.
Regularity is key in yoga. Aim for at least two to three sessions per week to experience the benefits. Consistency and progression are more important than frequency.
Absolutely! Yoga is for everyone, regardless of flexibility. Regular practice can improve flexibility over time. Focus on proper alignment and listen to your body's limits.
Each yoga pose, or asana, serves a specific purpose. Some poses build strength, others increase flexibility, and some focus on breath awareness or relaxation. The combination of poses creates a balanced practice.
If you have an injury or limitation, it's important to inform me before class. I can provide appropriate modifications or alternative poses to ensure your safety and comfort.
Balancing poses require practice and focus. Engaging your core, fixing your gaze on a steady point, and using props for support can help improve balance over time.
Pranayama helps regulate and control the breath, which has a direct effect on the mind and body. It promotes relaxation, increases energy, and enhances concentration during yoga practice.
It's generally recommended to practice yoga on an empty or light stomach. A heavy meal close to the class can cause discomfort and interfere with certain poses. If you need to eat, opt for a light snack at least an hour before class.
Meditation is an integral part of yoga practice. It helps calm the mind, reduce stress, and cultivate self-awareness. Regular meditation can improve focus, clarity, and overall well-being.
