Yoga is for Everyone

I believe that yoga is for everyone.  It's just a matter of finding the right class and the right practice that works.

• Are you a beginner?  Start with Gentle Yoga.
• Are you wanting to relax ?  Take a restorative class.
• Are you unable to get down on the mat?  Find a chair yoga class.
• Do you want to work your muscles and get your heart rate up?  Vinyasa Flow classes might work best for you.

Here is a Gentle Yoga class you can try.... see how it feels.

Even a vinyasa class has a variety of styles and it's finding one that works for you. Some classes hold poses longer which is associated with Hatha Yoga. Some instructors like to move through poses quickly and some instructors hold nice long poses.  A good instructor will give you options and make you feel welcome no matter what level you are.

Finding the Right Instructor:  The right instructor for you, helps you feel welcome in their class by giving you levels until you find what works best for you.  The instructor should encourage you to listen to your body and not to compare yourself with the other people in the class. The instructor should demonstrate poses when needed and verbally direct you what to do to reduce confusion for newbies. The important thing is finding a class where you can push yourself, and also where you can relax if you need to when your body needs to relax.
May you find joy in your yoga journey.
