New to Yoga

Hi Guys,

I want to start yoga classes and I’ve never done yoga in my life.

I’ve been looking for a place to try a class but there are so many different styles I don’t know were I should start.

Maybe you can suggest something to do first or a style to check out, I dont really know what I’m getting into.

Thank you
Love to all,
Yo

If you are healthy adult, I would just choose a bunch of them and visit a different one every week or month. Also try out different teachers as well. You may have one studio teaching one specific style of yoga but the teacher’s personality makes the class into a whole different experience. Start with the one that is closest to your home. Make it into an adventure.

This has come up many times over the years. And so there are many replies to this already. The search feature available to members on the forum is very helpful. I’ve taken the liberty to run that search. Below I’ve linked to the appropriate posts. Read them through and then we can fill confusions, curiosities, or gaps that might present themselves.

There are lot of sites to guide you to know about the yoga. One of the best site which I am using to know the complete Information about the yoga and its types is from yogasuppliesonline.com They are really too good in providing information. And also providing very good quality products and supplies of yoga…

Many people are introduced to yoga through one style and then gravitate to others. There are very gentle yoga classes, often called Yin or Restorative, and then much more vigorous styles like Ashtanga or Power. It all depends on what you’re looking for…

Welcome to the wide world of yoga! As Shanna suggested, trying different classes and teachers is a great way to find what you resonate with and see how varied yoga really is.

Going with an instructor and style focused on having fun with optimal alignment and profound practice is ideal, that way you get the whole shebang - mind, body, heart - all wrapped up in a joyful practice. To me, that style is Anusara yoga. As you’re trying different styles and teachers, I highly recommend you take a couple Anusara yoga classes as well so you experience.

Since you’re in Toronto, I thought of a friend of mind who teaches there. There are a number of teachers at this studio who you may like: mykulatoronto.ca/our-teachers.php. Here’s another teacher in your area who actually has a free class coupon you can print out - louisehanly.com.

You may or may not decide to go with any of the instructors featured on these sites. I just thought that if I were in Toronto, these are the teachers I’d check out first.

Happy practicing!
