Get Yourself The Right Yoga Clothes Now you don't have to buy the most expensive yoga clothes on the rack, you don't really have to buy any new clothes actually. If you already have exercise clothes then might as well use them. The important aspects you need to consider is that the clothing you need to wear should be light, preferably from natural materials or from breathable types of fabric, allows a great range of motion and will not restrict any movement.
Get Yourself The Right Mat Most yoga studios rent out mats, but for hygienic reasons, you might want to consider buying your own yoga mat. What are you supposed to look for in a mat? First ask your instructor, he may be able to give you advice on which mat types best suite you. Then look into your own needs and decide on which best fits your body - look into proper size, thickness, styles, and types.
Ask About Props Props such as blocks, blankets, straps, and chairs are also rentable or you may borrow them for free when in your class. These you can opt to just borrow, have a feel of your classes first before you actually purchase these extra props.
Prepare To Attend Class On An Empty Stomach With all of the various positions you will be doing, it is preferred if you attend class without breakfast. If this is hard for you, you may opt to drink a glass of tea or coffee, milk, fruit or vegetable juice. Ask your teacher for options if you really need to eat before a class starts.
Look And Feel The Part Looking the part simply means keeping yourself clean and natural looking. Keep your hair away from your face and tie your hair or use a headband while learning yoga. This will help you do the poses easily without having to continuously clear your eyes and face. Avoid wearing jewelry and if you can, don't wear make-up. Looking natural makes you connect more easily with nature - your mind, body, and soul.
