Am I too old, unfit or stiff to practice yoga?



No - anyone who can breath and move will gain benefits with a regular yoga practice.

 

 

What do I need to practice?

 

Nothing. If it is a 1-2-1 or small group class I bring mats and props to you or I have them in my home studio; in classes the studios provide them. It's good to get your own mat. You can purchase a cheap mat for about £10.

 

 

What do I wear?

 

If you have a pair of leggings or shorts and a t-shirt, then you have all you need! But if you are fashion conscious, the sky is the limit! The important thing is to be comfortable.

 

 

Can I eat before I practice?

 

It is advisable not to eat anything for at least 2 hours before you practice. If you have to eat have a piece of fruit. If your stomach is full there's less space to twist and you may get indigestion. If you are practicing yin yoga, please eat a light meal before.

​

 

Do we practice in heat?

 

The practice is at room temperature, warm but not hot. The warmth helps to prevent over straining muscles.
