1. Don't take class on a full stomach. Trying to do yoga right after mealtime will hinder your practice. In order for your body to twist and hop into poses, the stomach can't be digesting something heavy. 2. Arrive early.

1. Don't take class on a full stomach. Trying to do yoga right after mealtime will hinder your practice. In order for your body to twist and hop into poses, the stomach can't be digesting something heavy. 2. Arrive early. Head to the studio at least 10 minutes before the scheduled class in case there's paperwork to fill out or if you want to ask about any introductory discounts for new students. 3.Release the tension. Clenching your fingers, toes, or even your jaw is very common when you're first starting out. The more you let go and release this stress from your body, the easier every pose will feel. 4.Breath is everything. Pay attention to how shallow your breath is at the beginning of class and if it's deeper and more relaxed at the end of class. When you feel your mind wander, think about lengthening your inhales and exhales. 5.Child's Pose is always an option. There might be yogis of all levels practicing in class, so if there's a pose you don't understand or aren't ready to try, don't be afraid to take rest in a gentle Childs pose. This posture is always an option if you lose your connection to your breath during class. It will help you zen out and tune into your body's needs. read less

Have a warm water as you awake in the morning after that have a short walk. Once walk complete, freshen up yourself. Find a nice, clean soothing enviroment which may be Park or your rooftop area. Prepare your yoga mat and start your yoga practice.
