New here with a Yoga question
Hello ladies!
Tomorrow I go to my first Yoga class. I don't know why but I'm a bit nervous. I go to Spin class and work out/run 5 times a week. For whatever silly reason I'm anxious about this.
Anyone have any tips or advice to share with me? I can't belive I have never done any yoga!
Re: New here with a Yoga question
TTC #1 since May 2010. BFP #1 - 5/31/10; m/c on 7/22/10
Started seeing RE in August 2011
5 IUIs: BFN; IVF #1 - Success! BFP - 7/25/12
I was kind of nervous when I first started going, too, and working out was not something new to me.
Just relax and enjoy the experience. Ask questions if you are confused, don't force yourself into poses. Some of the vinyasas take time and patience, and you don't want to hurt yourself by pushing too hard. Don't worry about what the other people are doing around you - just do the practice for youself.
Also, wear comfy clothes (I usually wear capris and workout cami or tank top) and take a water bottle just in case you need it in the middle of class.
Adding on the other posters I am in agreement. Let the instructor know this is your first class as well as any injuries that you may have.
What you will need: a yoga block, a yoga strap, a mat (of course), a towel, some water and your loving spirit. Remember to have fun and learn.
I honestly do not remember my first yoga class. I think it was a combo class with Pilates that I took in college.
