Some commonly asked
questions about yoga
What should I wear and bring?
Wear anything you feel comfortable in that will allow you to have a full range of motion. I like to wear leggings and a tank top and bring a long sleeved shirt for the start and end of the class. Bring water, and a towel if you’re prone to working up a sweat. Leave the socks and sneakers at home, you’ll be practicing in bare feet. If you have a yoga mat, bring that as well, but most studios will rent them to you.
Where can I get a mat?
A good yoga mat can make all the difference. However, if you’re not sure if you’re going to stick with “this yoga thing,” there’s no need to splurge. Borrow a mat from your studio while you decide.
What are the different styles of yoga?
It seems like there is a new style of yoga popping up every day now. This is great because it’s so easy to find something that works for you. There are slow classes like Yin, gentle, and Restorative yoga. In these classes, you’ll spend a good amount of time on the floor in long, deep stretches. Vinyasa and Hatha classes will feature more movement and challenging poses, usually placing emphasis on moving in harmony with your breath.
Why is everyone Om-ing?
OM is said to be the sound of the universe. It is a symbol of our connection to all living things and beings. It is a way to seal in the lessons of the yoga class. It is however, pretty intimidating to new students, and you are by no means required to participate. You are also allowed to giggle, yogis love laughter.
Is the teacher going to touch me?
Probably, but if you’re not comfortable with being touched, make sure to let the teacher know. I will say that adjustments are a wonderful way to experience poses. A slight touch or pressure can help you to realize that you’re holding tension in a muscle or help you go just a little deeper into a pose. If a teacher plans to make adjustments, they should ask students at the beginning of class to signal if they’d prefer to skip this. If not, it is absolutely your right to ask them to skip you.
I’m too nervous to go to a studio, how can I get started?
The great thing about the popularity of yoga today is that you don’t have to leave your house to get started. There are so many wonderful yoga classes online, and this can be a great way to get your feet wet without leaving your comfort zone! Hopefully that clears up some concerns and gives you a little boost of confidence to get started! Yoga is magical and will change your life if you let it. Feel free to ask any lingering questions you may have!
