So, you’re thinking about trying yoga?

Great! Yoga is a wonderful way to get in touch with your body and mind, and if you’ve ever had a bad day at work or come home from the gym feeling like you didn’t quite hit your stride, yoga might be the perfect thing for you. Yoga is a practice of the mind, body and spirit that has been practiced for thousands of years. The word yoga literally means “union” in Sanskrit.

This ancient practice promotes relaxation and helps you achieve a sense of balance in your life. It also helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves posture, flexibility, balance and coordination. Yoga has been shown to improve blood circulation, reduce high blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.

Yoga helps you feel better about yourself by improving self-image and self-confidence. It can also help you sleep better at night by reducing stress levels during the day which will help you get a good night’s sleep!

But how do you get started with a yoga practice?

1. Find a class that works for you. If you’re new to yoga, try out a few different classes and see which one feels like the best fit for your schedule and needs.

    

2. Make sure you have comfortable clothing that lets you move freely without restriction (and keep it clean!). You may want to invest in a pair of yoga pants if you plan on practicing regularly—they’re comfy and easy-to-move-in!

    

3. Take time to warm up before jumping into your practice! Some people like to walk around their neighborhood or do some light stretching before class starts; others prefer to have some quiet time alone before they start moving their bodies around so they can focus on their breath instead of worrying about what other people think of them while they’re trying something new.”
