Mistakes that people make...
MISTAKE 1 - I am not flexible enough for Yoga
This is like saying you are not dirty enough to take a bath. Yes yoga will help your flexibility but you don’t need to be flexible to start yoga.
MISTAKE 2 - I am too old for Yoga
It’s never too late to start yoga. You will feel benefits from your first class.
MISTAKE 3 - I don't know anyone in the class
Yoga is a great way to meet new people. Classes are booked in class blocks so the same people are in class each week. You can get to know others or not. Your choice.
