First things first, they ll be a lot of stretching so be prepared to listen to your body make funny sounds that you ve never heard before. But before the first pose can be assumed a few things need to be done. Research. It is key for any form of success in yoga. Research any and all yoga studios and see which one is best suited to accommodate your stroke recovery therapy. It s also important to make note that research of poses and what they are called is essential in order to avoid confusion.
Most, if not all yoga instructors will tell everyone in class to leave their egos at the front entrance, because being self conscious or worrying about what other people are doing will detract from the purpose of going. Bring comfortable clothing, fabric that can stretch is best because it means that your still relatively comfortable even when your in an awkward position.
Coming to class early not only makes a good impression but as a beginner it gives you time with the instructor to discuss any injuries you may have had in the past and for them to take note of anything that might aggravate them or much needed time to fill in any documentation. Also, the advantage of arriving early is being able to find a place with your mat you deem comfortable before the class commences.
Going to a yoga class on a full stomach is bad and so is going to a class on an empty one. The middle ground is eating a light snack or fruit 20 to 15 minutes before the class begins to avoid feeling light headed or bloated during the class.
Get to class early, this will do wonders. If a class is at 10:00 get there at 09:45 and if you re running late, get there at 09:50. Arriving early means that setting up shop for class is way easier, especially for beginners who often end up at the back of the room. And to avoid being bogged down by paperwork, missing crucial moments reserved for stretching at the beginning of a class and end up being noisy and disruptive when settling in afterwards.
Bring comfortable clothing. Pants that stretch are best as they allow for more flexibility. For females, the options are more varied and it s important to prioritise comfort over what s fashionable because the latest and greatest designer tops won t matter when your huffing and puffing in discomfort because of them. For men however, their choice of clothing is limited but long running tights are decent enough to make them presentable and comfortable.
Chanting is commonplace in a yoga class and if it makes you feel uncomfortable or you not yet ready to chant, feel free not to do it. Yoga is about relaxation not pressurisation.
Yoga has some great benefits and who wouldn t want to feel more flexible but some research is necessary before laying down a mat and chanting a mantra. Be Comfortable and ask for help if anything seems unfamiliar or difficult.
