Movement or stillness? Posture or meditation? Vinyasa and power-flow are probably the most well-known styles of Yoga in our Western world. But often, a dynamic and fast-paced class like Vinyasa can be intimidating and overwhelming and has the ability to leave newbies feeling like Yoga is too hard for them. It is not that Yoga is not for you but rather that, at this stage, Vinyasa or Power may not be the right fit for you (yet – if that is what you want form your practice). Often, these classes are not tailored to Yoga for beginners. Choose a slower, more gentle style such as Foundations, Hatha or Mellow Flow that suits your pace and gives you time to find your feet and learn how to breathe. At the same time, the stillness and intensity of a Yin class can be excruciating for someone just starting. Meditation might be the right entry point for you? Learn how to walk before trying to run.
