What to Expect
A yoga session typically begins with a grounding breath practice, moves through a sequence of postures (asanas) adapted to your level, and closes with relaxation (savasana). Sessions vary by style — from dynamic vinyasa flows to slow yin holds. Your facilitator will offer modifications throughout. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a mat if you have one; most facilitators provide them.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?
- No. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a prerequisite. All bodies are welcome at all levels.
- What style of yoga is right for me?
- That depends on what you're seeking. Vinyasa and Ashtanga are more dynamic; Hatha and Yin are slower and more restorative. Your facilitator can help you choose.
- Should I eat before a session?
- Avoid heavy meals within 2 hours of practice. A light snack 30–60 minutes before is fine for most people.
