Get The Most From 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.

The best place to start is by recognising that you are not alone in these emotions. Your instructor will know how to help you settle in. They are not school teachers, they will be gentle with you and you will not be put into detention if you fail. You will be able to pick where you stand, you will not be forced to do anything you are not comfortable with.

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.

Breathing is one of the most important aspects in this exercise. You will learn about paying attention to how you inhale and exhale. Many people breathe in via the mouth so practice using your nose instead. The oxygen needs to be transported to the muscles you are using so think about the air targeting certain points you are using in your body.

You instructor has been fully trained to show you how to move correctly and achieve all of the positions. Therefore do not watch the people in front of you, focus only on the teacher. Make sure you can see them from where you are standing and copy only their moves not the moves of anyone else. The people in class may not have a good technique and you could end up doing yourself an injury.

The final guideline for you to follow is to pay attention to your own body. Use the mirrors on the walls to help you put your body in the right position. You also need to listen to how your body reacts. If a stretch is hurting a lot release the position and try it again without pushing yourself so hard. There is no way that you will be able to achieve all of the moves correctly the first time. Yoga is a difficult art form to master, do not be angry or frustrated if you find it difficult. Be patient and practice.

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.

Use what you have read to enjoy your first London yoga session. You will soon be looking forward to your second class and wonder what you were worried about.
