The best way to learn yoga postures safely and effectively is to learn from an experienced yoga instructor. You can find a registered yoga instructor near you on Yoga Alliance's online directory, or browse local yoga studios yourself to find a teacher who inspires you. Remember that almost every yoga studio offers at least one yoga class to students of all levels, so all you have to do is ask which yoga workout is right for you! If youre a little nervous to start, then go early and introduce yourself to the instructor. Let him or her know that youre new and I promise you that they will make modifications and adjustments for you throughout the class so that you dont have to struggle. After all, we all want you to begin, too! After you've worked through these tips for new yogis, feel free to try sun salutations, more online yoga videos, or even a yoga DVD. And even as you begin to master the chaturanga, you will still need to continue practicing all of the points listed above. You will be well on your way to a calmer, bendier, more self-confident YOU!
