I truly believe that the experience of yoga can benefit everyone. I am also aware that not everyone’s yoga experiences have been beneficial. That is why it is crucial that you take the time to find the yoga class that suits you. Whether you are new to yoga, or getting back in to it, or just moved to a new location, or maybe recovering from an injury it is important to find the right yoga class for you.
How do I know what kind of Yoga class to take?
Well, good question. You can search online for classes in your area. Most results often yield results that provide a description of the class and a suggested skill level. You may come across terms such as Hatha Yoga, Asthanga Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga. These are more traditional yoga practices each bearing a long lineage and direct connection to the origins of YOGA. You will also definitely come across the less traditional branches of yoga with names such as; Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Power Yoga, SUP Yoga, Laughter Yoga, etc. If you are looking for something easy going you can easily cross PowerHardCore Super Yoga off the list.
Or can you? Probably so, but it is always best to try a class. Try several classes. Regardless what the class description says, despite the name or lineage, the class experience is heavily dependent upon the instructor. Therefore, attempt to contact the instructor prior to attending the class. Many instructors are happy to speak with you about their experience, class style, expectations, and teaching methods. If not, still attend a class. Find a class that does not hurt you. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, taking a yoga class that includes a lot of poses like Down Dog, Upward-Facing Dog, Plank, Handstand probably is not best suited for you… These are all weight-bearing on the hands and wrists, and could make the problem worse.
“Oh but I really like the class, the time is just right, it is close to the house, and there’s nothing else in this TOWN!”.
Ok. If you ask nicely, many instructors are capable and willing to provide various modifications for each pose. Keep in mind absolute personalization is rarely possible in a class setting. Hey, with the right instructor that PowerHardCore Super Yoga class may be more suited for you than thought.
There are so many other factors to consider for each individual. Therefore collecting info on the web, word of mouth, or just dropping into a class is a great start to finding a yoga class for you. It comes down to experiencing the class. It just has to feel right. Relaxation, Restoration, Strength, Flexibility, Balance, Therapy… From Gentle Yoga to PowerHardCore Super Yoga, a well suited yoga practice can bring you all of these.
