Get started in yoga

For many people, starting yoga from scratch is scary and insecure. Many people do not know how to start their yoga adventure. We, as good amateurs, not so long ago also started practicing yoga. We will help you to take the step in this exciting world of yoga.

Where to practice yoga?

There are many centers where you can practice yoga. You can choose according to the distance from your home, yoga style, schedule, recommendation, etc.

Once you attend the class, you must inform the teacher about your injuries, bruises, discomfort and ask everything you want to know. Take advantage of face-to-face classes, where the teacher corrects your postures. To begin with, we would recommend choosing a yoga class for beginners, but beware – it doesn’t always mean it’s an easy class. You have to be very patient and know how to listen to your body.

When you feel comfortable practicing yoga and you know how to execute the basic postures correctly, it will be when you can take the practice of yoga to your homes, from Sana Yoga Shop that is what we recommend. It is not only comfortable, because you can do it when it suits you (you do not have to follow the schedules), but also cheap or even free.

What equipment do I need?

For the practice of yoga you do not need anything more than a yoga mat. You don’t even need sports shoes, since it is practiced barefoot; or special clothes, since any comfortable piece of clothes will do you (even pajamas :)). Obviously we recommend our SANA Yoga Shop mats, 100% ecological and superdurable. If you need a better grip, it is advisable to pour a little of the water on the surface and this will improve a lot.

Over time, when yoga is part of your life, it is advisable to also have blocks, a belt, etc., with which you can practice a greater number of exercises or improve those already practiced.

Yoga at home

It is a very comfortable way to practice yoga. There is a lot of video content, online instructions according to yoga style, level, duration, etc. In addition, there are classes that are adapted for all people.

We would like to recommend, based on our experience, some teachers:

Elena Malova-> Youtube Channel (free)

Xuan Lan -> Youtube channel (free) + online study

Ahora Comienza El Yoga -> wellness and personal growth platform, yoga clases

And many more…

Remember that you will not achieve short-term results. Yoga is a lifestyle and it takes a lot of time, patience, and practice. Taking into account all the benefits that the practice of yoga gives (read our articles Yoga and physical health and Yoga and mental health) we encourage you to start this journey to have a HEALTHY life with yoga!
