Starting Yoga – Classes or DVD?
There are various DVDs and videos on yoga, usually with an instructor who takes you through many exercises and breathing techniques. Although they can be great in the sense that you can practice in the comfort of your own home and yoga form around your usual routine, a good teacher can make a huge difference in how you succeed. DVDs and videos are great as additional documents later when you are more confident and have learned and received advice from a teacher.
There are many different types of yoga and many styles. Compare and find a type of yoga and teaching style that best meets your needs. You should also consult your doctor and let your teacher know if you have any health problems.
How to find a good yoga teacher?
Find a good yoga teacher is like finding a good doctor or the hairdresser you ask around and try some different people. Also, ask plenty of questions of instructor:
Is yoga is taught vigorous or gentle?
What a good time in class for beginners?
Should I bring something, like a yoga mat, or is it provided?
How much is each class?
Where was the trained teacher? (Most teachers should be 200-500 hours of training.)
How long was the teacher teach?
A good teacher will try verbal instructions before using the hands, on adjustments. Demonstration by a teacher should be performed only when necessary. A teacher from the scene poses impossible watch what you do. The class is for you the student. You need a teacher who can respond to your individual needs and guide you in the right poses. Ask before class on the experience of yoga before, injuries, etc. is an indication that the teacher is attentive to your needs.
An important aspect of yoga is that it is non-competitive. Students work at their own ability level, while respecting the body and its limitations. Do never go beyond what is comfortable and reasonable and a good yoga teacher will help you determine what is appropriate for you in each pose.
Classes can also be a great way to meet new people in a welcoming and relaxed.
