Selecting A Yoga Class - 3 Tips
If you are thinking about taking a yoga class, please bear in
mind a couple of pointers. Not only are all classes not the
same, the yoga instructors aren't the same either. In the right
yoga class, you will feel comfortable. That means you are more
likely to come back time and time again. Secondly, you are
better able to get the most out of the class. Third, you get
your money's worth out of it. So, what should you look for in
the yoga class you plan to sign up for?
The Right Yoga Class Can Change Your Life
1) Experience: The most beneficial aspect of taking a yoga class
is the one-on-one attention that the instructor can provide.
He/she needs to be experienced. Not only should they have all
the right certification(s), but they should tell you where they
studied and how they are continuing the learning process. It
takes years to become a quality instructor so take all the
experience into account.
2) Class size: Being comfortable in your yoga class can really
help you get the most out of it. If you aren't comfortable with
a large number of people in the class, you will not enjoy the
class. Ideally, you should take this class with friends. In this
way, you will have your own support group to discuss your
progress.
3) Recommendations: As always, feedback from a friend who has
taken such classes is the best way to find the good ones in your
area. You'll find that people will be glad to tell you about
their experiences if you just ask. If you cannot find anyone to
tell you about the course, ask to audit the course for one
session. This way, you are not paying into a course that you
don't like or won't fit well in.
Bonus Tip: Try looking for studios that offer the sessions at
different times of the day. So, in case you miss one regular
session you can go to one of the other sessions to maintain
continuity.
The right yoga class will provide you with the right area and
the right environment to enjoy all the benefits from yoga. Don't
stop looking until you find the right one for your specific
needs and preferences.
