How do I choose a yoga class?

Studios offer styles from gentle to vigorous, and the first decision is how hard you want to work. The NCCIH guidance on yoga points out the range and advises asking about the instructor’s training and experience. Look for a beginners’ label, a small class size and a teacher who offers options.

Wear something stretchy that stays put, bring water, and treat the mat as your own space rather than a stage. Social media can make yoga look like a fashion contest, but the Harvard Health article on yoga notes that studios typically do not have mirrors, so people can turn attention inward rather than comparing how poses look.

Pregnant, injured or unwell? Tell the teacher and your doctor before you begin.
