It’s really humbling to remember where we started, what we’ve been through to appreciate what we are or we have now. It is also nice to share those beginning stories with others to let them know that they are not going to stay there forever, if they really want to achieve something they have to work for it. It’s not to force them do the things they don’t want to do, but to inspire them and let them decide whatever they want to achieve, and for them to know that before we became a yoga teacher, we were once a beginner too.

I think that this would help with the flexibility that I have. It is good to know before I start that the instructor will move me to adjust me.

I am a yoga teacher and I would recommend that people read this post if they have any insecurities about attending their first yoga class. I would add a few more points:

1. You do not need to do anything that makes you feel bad/in pain/ or not right.: Teachers can be a little zealous and new students are still building confidence. Your teacher is a guide not a drill seargent, make sure you listen to your body and take care of yourself.

2. It should not be painful. If you feel pain stop. Pain is accute while slight discomfort feels likes you are stretched a little out of your comfort zone.

3. Just because you can twist into a pretzel does not make you a good yogi

4. A handstand is not the goal of yoga.

5. None of the good/experienced yogis think badly of you as a beginner. In fact, they were once you and they probably feel happy that you’re joining the club!
