Tips To Help You Enjoy Your London Yoga Class

By Liliana Mills


Have you decided to join a London yoga class? If you have you may have lots of questions going around your head that might be stressing you out. Most people have anxieties about going to their first session. You may be worried that people might laugh at you. You might also be concerned that you will fall over or that you will be forced to the front of the room. Do not panic, here is how to get the most of your class.

All of these emotions are normal, most people think about the same things when they arrive at the class for the first time. There is no need to worry though, the instructor will be happy to leave you at the back of the class if that is where you feel most comfortable. This is not school, you cannot be put in detention or get left out.

Here are some guidelines to help you survive your first class and gain the health benefits that this type of exercise gives you. Before you head off for your session fill up your water bottle, pick up your floor mat and put on your comfortable trousers and t shirt, read these guidelines and you will be raring to go.

The first thing to know and prepare for is the breathing techniques. Breathing is very important as it helps deliver the vital oxygen your muscles need to help them stretch. Without accurate breathing you may struggle to get into the right positions. Breath in through your nose and not your mouth, if you do not do this naturally take some time to practice it. Pay attention to the way you inhale and listen to the advice from your instructor.

The second tip is about the instructor. They will have trained fully and they are the one person you should pay full attention to in class. Make sure you are able to see them easily where you are stood and do not look at other people in the room. Copying others could lead to poor techniques and even injury. Follow the instructions and the movements that your instructor makes, although you may not be able to do them properly at least you will be using the right motions and getting the benefit out of each move.

Finally pay attention to your mind and your own body. Use any mirrors that are in the room to see your positions and learn what your body is doing. Looking in a mirror will help you spot any errors easier. You should also listen to any pains that you may experience and alter you moves if the stretching is proving to be too difficult or causes you a lot of discomfort. Remember that you should not try for perfection, it takes years to become a master.

These guidelines will help you to make the most out of your experience in class. Let your mind wonder and relax as you go through each of the positions. Remember that everyone there is looking to gain the same benefits that you are, no one is there to laugh at others.

Now you are mentally prepared go and join the London yoga class and have fun. Before you know it the session will be over and you will be counting down the days until your next experience.
