Debbie J. says, "KT's teachings are vital for anyone with a body! (Only if you want to live comfortably in said body...) She guides you to truly experience the mind-body connection that yoga is supposed to be. I have practiced yoga for over 35 years. Never has an instructor been so precise about posture and body positioning, which translates directly to safety and injury prevention. KT can tell when you're the slightest bit out of alignment! Her corrections are profound and stabilizing. When I'm working out or just going about my day, KT's teachings are in my head. If I get sloppy, the aches and strains creep in. Now I remind myself to "KT up" and my body knows it's supposed to do that mind-body connection thing for my safety and best performance." Read more

Surabhi T. says, "I have been attending Poonam's Yoga lessons for couple of years now. It is a complete yoga experience where she teaches not just the yoga poses but also gives useful tips on how to adopt yoga as a lifestyle. She tells the details about each pose and stresses on proper breathing during the pose. She remembers each attendee's physical limitation (if any) and suggests alternate ways of doing a pose to them. Each class includes exercises for all parts of the body, and the progression of poses in a class seems to have a natural flow that makes it easy and enjoyable. I am so lucky to have found Poonam as my yoga instructor. Her techniques have helped me learn the yoga poses, and her own calmness gives me a sense of inner peace. " Read more

Your Beginner Yoga Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much does a beginner yoga class cost?

The cost of beginner yoga classes can vary significantly depending on the studio, location, and class format. Typically, single drop-in classes range from $10 to $25. Many studios offer introductory packages or specials for new students, allowing them to attend multiple classes at a reduced rate, making it easier to explore different styles without a hefty financial commitment.

In addition to drop-in rates, many studios provide membership options that can lower the cost per class for regular attendees. Monthly memberships often range from $80 to $150, which can be a great investment for those who plan to practice consistently. It’s advisable to check local studios for any promotions or discounts that may be available for beginners.

What is the best yoga for beginners?

For beginners, Hatha yoga is often recommended as it focuses on basic postures and breathing techniques. This gentle approach allows newcomers to familiarize themselves with foundational poses while emphasizing proper alignment and technique. Hatha classes typically hold poses longer, giving practitioners more time to understand each position and its benefits.

Other suitable styles include Yin yoga and Restorative yoga, which are slower-paced and focus on relaxation and flexibility. Vinyasa yoga can also be a good option once beginners feel comfortable with basic poses, as it introduces movement between postures while maintaining a focus on breath.

Can you do yoga at home as a beginner?

Yes, practicing yoga at home is possible for beginners and can be a convenient way to incorporate it into your daily routine. Many online resources, including YouTube channels and apps, offer guided sessions tailored specifically for newcomers. These resources provide flexibility in scheduling and allow individuals to practice at their own pace in a comfortable environment.

However, it's beneficial for beginners to attend in-person classes initially to learn proper form and technique. This foundational knowledge can enhance home practice by ensuring correct alignment and reducing the risk of injury. Once comfortable with the basics, many find that practicing at home becomes an enjoyable complement to their yoga journey.

Does beginner yoga burn calories?

Beginner yoga can indeed burn calories, though the amount varies based on several factors such as body weight, session length, and intensity of practice. On average, participants may burn around 200 to 300 calories during a one-hour beginner class.

While this isn't as high as some more vigorous workouts, the benefits of yoga extend beyond calorie burning. Regular practice can lead to increased muscle tone and improved metabolism over time. Beginners may also find that yoga helps reduce stress and improve overall well-being, which can contribute positively to weight management efforts.

How long should beginners hold yoga poses?

Beginners are generally encouraged to hold poses for 15 to 30 seconds during their initial practice sessions. This duration allows sufficient time to establish proper alignment and develop familiarity with each posture without causing undue strain. Holding poses longer can help improve strength and flexibility over time as practitioners become more comfortable.

How do I choose a beginner yoga class?

To ensure you pick the right fit in a beginner yoga class, consider the following factors:

  • Class type: Look for classes specifically labeled as "beginner" or "introductory" to ensure the pace and instruction are suitable for newcomers.
  • Instructor experience: Research the instructor's qualifications and teaching style; experienced teachers can provide valuable guidance and support.
  • Class size: Smaller classes often allow for more personalized attention, which can be beneficial for beginners.
  • Studio environment: Visit studios to assess their atmosphere; a welcoming and supportive environment can enhance your practice.
  • Trial classes: Many studios offer trial classes or packages that allow you to experience different instructors and styles before committing.

What questions should I ask a yoga instructor?

Asking these questions can help choose the right beginner yoga class and instructor:

  • What is your teaching philosophy?
  • How do you accommodate different skill levels?
  • What should I bring to class?
  • How do you handle injuries or limitations?
  • Can you explain the structure of the class?
