Another key tip is to set up a designated space for your yoga practice at home and purchase any supplies that you might need (see our article on Setting up Your Own Yoga Zone).

There are plenty of substitutes you can use at home including blankets, pillows, and a chair.

Most importantly, leave your ego at the door when you attend your first yoga class. Yoga is a non-competitive sport that is accessible for all ages, body types, and abilities. It is not about gravity-defying poses and extreme flexibility, but about breathing, building strength, and creating freedom in the body with basic yoga poses. You will never be a perfect yoga student, but you can always progress to your next level by being patient and giving yourself time to learn.
