Sarah has been practicing Yoga for 6 years.
We are both British Wheel of Yoga Student Teachers and have completed the Foundation Course in Yoga.
We are both currently on a BWY teacher training course that runs from
Jan 2008 - July 2011
Beginners
Most classes start with a short relaxation to allow oneself to become centered ready for the practice. The physical practice usually starts with warming up stretches and limbering exercises to get the muscles warm, the joints mobile and the body ready for the postures (in yoga, postures are called asanas). There may be a series of postures, or work towards one or two postures, followed by a longer and deeper relaxation at the end. The lesson may include breathing practices .
Clothing and equipment
You will need a mat, preferably a sticky mat that prevents slipping. These can be obtained from most local supermarkets or sports shops.
It is advisable to take a blanket for the relaxation.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy movement, a T-shirt and thin cotton leggings are fine. Try to avoid eating for 2 hours before a class.
It is important for students who are new to Yoga to inform the teacher of any conditions or ailments they may suffer from. All information will be kept confidential.
New students are surprised at the effect of this form of exercise. In your very first class, even if you have worked fairly hard, you may come away expecting to feel tired, perhaps exhausted; instead you will have a sense of well-being.
