Vimoksha Yogashala:- What to Expect in Your First Yoga Class: A Beginner’s Guide

Before attending your first session, you should know what yoga is. Yoga is a very old practice, which includes postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation to enhance physical as well as mental health. Unlike other physical exercises for fitness, yoga deals with being aware, being at peace from within, and knowing the body, and that is ideal for a healthy way of living.

Our first yoga classes here at Vimoksha Yogashala are authentic and welcoming. You don't have to be flexible or strong – just open-minded and keen to learn.

If you're unsure about how to get ready for your very first yoga class, these down-to-earth tips will help:

• circleShow Up Early – Get to class at least 10–15 minutes before class starts in order to greet your instructor, get settled, and adjust to the space.
• circleDress with Ease – Dress in loose, flowing attire that doesn't restrict you. Binding pants or tight pants will be forbidden.
• circleBring or Borrow a Mat – While most studios, including Vimoksha Yogashala, provide mats that you can use, it will make you even more comfortable if you bring one of your own.
• circleDon't Eat Full Meals – Have a light snack or piece of fruit at least an hour before class so that you won't feel stuffed.
• circleListen to Your Body – If you're ill, hurt, or experiencing an issue, let your teacher know. They will make accommodations for you.
• circleBe Open Minded – You won't be perfect at all postures immediately – and that's alright.



These tips for a beginner's yoga class will put you on the right foot.

If you're a beginner at Vimoksha Yogashala, you've just enrolled for absolute beginners' yoga. This would be what your class would include:

• circlePranayama (Breathing Exercises) (5–10 minutes): Practices such as Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) or Bhramari (humming bee breathing) to calm the mind and expand the lung capacity.
• circleGuided Relaxation or Meditation (5–10 minutes): Relaxation class to let go of tension and enhance concentration.
• circleClosing & Reflection: Class ended with Namaste, thanks.
