Getting Started

We Help You Get Started with Confidence

Yoga can be an intimidating practice for those who are new to the ancient form of exercise. There are hundreds of poses that require you to contort your body into positions that, outside of a yoga studio, you may never be tempted to try or expect to find yourself in. We are sensitive to the anxiety that may surround new students and make every effort to help you become a confident yogi. Practicing yoga is a great way to develop a healthy lifestyle. All it takes to embark on your journey is sign up for our Special Introductory Offer.

Yoga is also an incredibly inclusive practice. We modify the yoga poses we teach to accommodate the needs of absolutely any individual, including those who are fit, those who are overweight and those who are working with injuries or disabilities. Of course, before you can become proficient in yoga you have to learn how to get started.

Start with the Basics

You won't become a yogi after just one class... it takes practice and time.  Developing a yoga-centered lifestyle takes years, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from yoga at an introductory level. Yoga for beginners can help you to manage stress and get in shape while you learn and grow.  For beginners, we suggest starting with the Basic, Gentle, Restorative, Yin, and even Core yoga classes and then progressing from there as you feel comfortable.  You could also schedule a Private Yoga Session or two before you jump into the class setting.

At any intensity level, yoga delivers certain benefits, including benefits to your mental and physical health. Yoga can help you tone muscle and lose weight while encouraging great stress management and meditation.

Don't let your first yoga class intimidate you. To get started all you need is:

  • Yoga Mat
  • Comfortable clothes that allow you to move and flex freely
  • Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated
  • Positive attitude & an open mind

If you are taking our power/core/vinyasa yoga classes, add a hand towel to this list. Make sure you are well hydrated before you come to class. Expect to sweat and detox a lot in the power/core/vinyasa yoga classes!  Yoga mats will become slippery when wet, so we suggest using the large beach towels, or yogitoes towels for these yoga classes.

When you take your first yoga class at in, you may not know all of the poses. There is no need to study before you see us for the first time in order to feel comfortable at the front of the class. If you're not ready to take center stage, just set up your mat in the middle or back of the room and keep an eye on the other students in the class. By watching fellow yogis, you can know what each of the poses are as you transition into them. Our helpful instructors will also assist you as needed.

Yoga is an inviting, meditational and even spiritual experience that can help you get in shape and tone muscles. Don't let yourself feel too intimidated by any preconceived notions about the practice. As a welcoming practice, you can rest assured that any class you find will be inviting and inclusive, helping you to feel as comfortable as possible.
