No matter what form of yoga you ultimately choose to pursue, consider selecting a beginner course to start off with. Yoga may seem simple enough to someone who has never done it, but many of the poses can be quite strenuous and require a certain degree of physical strength and flexibility before they can be performed properly. In any case, it is better to start in a class that is to easy for you and have to move up than it is to take a class that is too advanced and end up discouraged, or worse, injured.

Alright, so let’s say that you have signed up for your first class. Good for you! Unlike sports that require multiple pieces of equipment, yoga requires only a few. You will need to purchase well-fitting, comfortable clothes and a mat.

The outfit that you wear to your first yoga class does not need to be fancy or match a worldly vision of what a yoga practitioner looks like. Instead, focus on choosing clothing that wicks away moisture, such as cotton, linen, or specialized sport materials. They should hug your body snugly, but not feel tight or restrictive. Pants or shorts are both acceptable, depending on what you feel most comfortable in, and should stay put relatively well while you are in motion. Bunching or gaping of fabric can be uncomfortable for you and distracting to your fellow practitioners.
