It's no secret that we at Yoga Hero are passionate about the power of yoga. And that it's more than just the physical practice. However, most of us really need the physical practice and that will be where the bulk of our yoga practice goes. If you happen to stumble across yoga in a yoga magazine or on instagram or tiktok, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's just for skinny, very flexible people who can tie themselves up in knots and walk on their hands. But the truth is, yoga is for everyone. Not every style is for everyone. Not every teacher is for everyone. But, yoga, by its very nature of what it truly is, is for everyone

With that in mind, we thought it would be useful to put together some tips for how to prepare for your first yoga class, to try to take some of the unknowns and anxiety out of attending a class, so that you can just crack on with setting up a yoga practice that suits you, and that's beneficial to you.
