FAQ
Can I take classes together?
It depends on the class. Some teachers offer private lessons only. Other teachers offer group classes, where students can get to know each other.
Some studios offer "classes within classes", which allow you to be paired up with someone who has similar interests and goals.
What are the best yoga mats?
There are many types of yoga mats. The size, price, durability, and cost of a yoga mat will all play a role in your decision.
A high-quality mat will be thick enough for protection, but thin enough to be easily moved.
Cheap mats may not offer enough support.
What do I need to start practicing yoga?
A mat, some that can be folded, loose clothes and a blanket or towel to cover your head when you lie down will be necessary.
Also, you may need props like straps to hold your blocks, straps to support your bolsters, blankets or towels in order for some poses.
You don't really need anything else. To start yoga, you must be motivated to make positive changes in one's life and willing to put in the effort.

How To
Can I do yoga during pregnancy?
Pregnancy can affect your ability to do certain poses safely. Before starting any new workout routine, you should consult your doctor.
You can still perform many poses during pregnancy. Here are some tips:
-
It is not a good idea to lift heavier than shoulder-level weights for pregnant women. Instead, consider dumbbells or resistance bands that are lightweight.
-
Avoid deep twists. These could pressure your belly.
-
Avoid backbends until after you give birth. These can cause excessive strain on your lower back.
-
Before you deliver your baby, make sure to not sit on your stomach or cross-legged until the delivery.
-
Your doctor will have to approve you before you attempt inverted poses, such as handstands and headstands.
-
You should limit your practice to 30 min per day.
When you're ready, you can continue doing yoga throughout your pregnancy. Your doctor will let you know when you are ready for yoga.
