What should I wear to a yoga class?

Comfort and flexibility are key. Wear breathable, stretchy clothing that allows you to move freely. Avoid overly loose clothing that might get in the way during poses.

How often should I practice yoga as a beginner?

If you’re just starting out, 2–3 times per week is ideal. This gives your body time to adjust while still building strength, flexibility, and consistency. Even short 15–20 minute sessions at home can make a big difference. As you get comfortable, you can gradually increase your practice to daily sessions if it feels good for your body.

Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?

The most common misconception. Yoga is designed to improve flexibility over time. Many beginners start yoga without being flexible at all. Through consistent practice, you’ll notice your muscles and joints gradually becoming looser and more mobile. Yoga meets you where you are, so you don’t need to be “bendy” to begin.

What is the difference between Hatha and Vinyasa yoga?

Hatha Yoga – A slower-paced practice that focuses on basic postures and breathing. Great for beginners.

Vinyasa Yoga – A more dynamic style where poses flow smoothly with the breath. 1 breath often equates to one pose/movement. It’s often called “flow yoga.”

What Equipment do I need for yoga?

Yoga doesn’t require a lot of equipment at all. The essentials for yoga are simple:

• Yoga mat – for comfort and stability.

• Comfortable clothes – breathable and flexible.

• Optional props – yoga blocks, straps, or bolsters can help beginners with balance and support. Most yoga studios will have everything you need.
