1. START SIMPLY. All our classes are drop-in. Start with a class that fits most easily in your
schedule. Rearranging your life too much to fit in your yoga practice will only increase stress and
add pressure. If we don't have a class at a time that is convenient, email us and we'll see what
we can do! We offer an INTRO TO YOGA CLASS SERIES to build an understanding of the
fundamentals...click here for more info!
2. EXPLORE. If possible, explore different styles and instructors. Some styles of yoga will be
more appropriate for your BODY than others. You might feel best with a calming practice or
maybe an energetic practice. You won't know until you give it a try!
3. YOGA SHOULDN'T HURT. It is written in the YOGA SUTRAS that postures should be
comfortable and steady. If you unable to find the JOY in your postures then it is NOT YOGA.
Respect your limits and do not feel pressure to perform a posture you are uncomfortable in.
There are 6 billion different expressions of each pose--find yours!
4. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE LINGO. "What is the difference between Vinyasa, Kripalu,
Hatha, Kundalini?" All YOGA using the physical body and on a mat is HATHA YOGA. All the
other names came later. These names are descriptions of the style of hatha yoga--usually
named by or after a guru. Don't worry about understanding the differences. Simply find the style
that works for your body and that's the BEST one for you!
5. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Let your instructor know of any health conditions or concerns
that may interfere with your practice. Even if it seems mild or 'not a big deal,' it is still important
that your yoga instructor is aware so that they can assist you appropriately during the class.
6. THERE ARE NO MASTERS. Don't worry if you are a beginner. YOGA is a process, not a goal.
You don't need to be able to stand on your head or touch your toes. Many, many people are just
beginning a yoga practice. If you've never tried YOGA, you are not alone. Dhanwantari is an
open, friendly place and a GREAT environment to get started!
