3 Tips You Should Know Before Beginning a Yoga Practice

This is the advice I give to all beginner yoga students. These 3 things can help you get started with a yoga practice and stick with it.

Are you ready to meet your mat?

I’ve been a practicing yogi since 2008. I remember the day of my first yoga class because it left a significant impression on me.

I was completely captivated and fascinated by my first yoga experience, and I wanted more. Like a cloud in harmony with the fluctuations of the wind, I floated out of class that evening.

When I got home, I read my horoscope and it mentioned yoga!

I knew this was a symbol for my next step on my journey, and I couldn’t wait to share this beautiful practice with other people. Learn more about why I became a yoga teacher.

The 3 tips below are what every new yoga student should know before beginning a yoga practice. These are the same things I brought with me to my first class as a student and the same things I carry with me today.

1. Have an open mind.

2. Listen to your body and what it needs to help you stay safe.

3. Remain curious.

Practice It: Carry a Sense of Wonder Wherever You Go

“Why?” is my favorite question because I am genuinely curious about how things and thoughts originate and the underlying meaning of them all. Carry this same sense of curiosity with you, asking “Why?” frequently.

Take a yoga class with me.

As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine.
