Beginner’s Guide to Yoga – How to Choose a Class

If you’re new to yoga, the variety of class names, lingo, and styles on offer can be confusing or even intimidating. Some classes involve chanting and spirituality, while others are fitness-focused and agnostic. Some offer challenging workouts, while others are more like intense stretching routines.

Most yoga in your area will fall into just a handful of categories that we’ll explore in this video. And while we’ll inevitably overlook some styles you might stumble upon on your travels, this guide should help you find a yoga style to suit your needs.

I also really like Yin and meditations. It's like my downtime the teachers give self-affirmations and actually don't mind the oms.

Namaste, I am grateful that the ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism (System of Ayurvedic medicine) is appreciated and adapted all over the world now 🙏🏼

[jayray]

Thank you really informative love the way you explain everything great teacher

[connie]

Thanks for explaining what can be a confusing array of yoga class names. In the past I've taken classes that were just called Hatha Yoga, and I do enjoy that style very much  However, I've been doing your style of stretching using the wet noodle, 4/8 breathing, long hold approach and I like that more than any yoga class I've taken 😃

[denisemc]

Your style is my fav thanks so much for the fantastic overview and professional presentation ❤

[mankeyuj]

I’m glad I watched this. I had no idea that there were so many different yoga practices. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Buenos días desde España.
Gracias por sus enseñanzas. Me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de traducir las conversaciones que realiza durante las clases, pero no de forma subtitulada sino directamente con un traductor, para no perderme nada.
Gracias de nuevo de antemano y un abrazo grande.

Hi Lucas. I suffer from intercostal neuralgia. A pain under my right rib. Pains when I press. This issue is probably due to an inflamed nerve or inflammation in the bone. I was told to do yoga ate there any specific yoga routines for this.

Your feet appear to have very high arches -- does that ever cause you issues with stretching/overextending?
