Q. Am I too stiff/old/unfit/fat/clumsy to do yoga?
A. Not at all! Yoga is for every body. There are styles that are gentler or stronger and more dynamic but a good teacher should be able to give modifications and build up through layers and options so that differing abilities can find their own level to work at in the same class.
Q. Is yoga a religion?
A. Yoga is a philosophy that began in India an estimated 5,000 years ago. It is a system or science of self-enquiry, spiritual growth and mastery over the mental and physical body. It is not necessary to surrender one’s personal religious beliefs to practice yoga.
Q. What shall I wear/bring to class?
A. Wear stretchy, comfortable clothes you can move in. Try not to eat at least 2 hours before class as it can feel uncomfortable to have food in belly and energy going to digestion when practicing. There will be yoga mats and props there for you to use or bring your own.
