Choosing a yoga teacher/studio/class

Choose the right yoga teacher /studio/class for you. 

There's a saying  "yoga is for everyone" and that I believe this is true. We should all have access to the benefits of yoga. That said we should add to that yoga is for everyone yet not every class is for everyone. Finding the right teacher/studio/class will make all the difference to your yoga experience. 

Often there are several yoga teachers/studios/classes in an area so how to choose which is the best fit for you. 

A google/social media search will usually help you find yoga teachers in your area.

You may ask for recommendations  - these are great - this said you still want to find the right teacher/studio/class for you. Who is right/perfect for someone else may not be the right fit for you. 

This can be down to the style of yoga and or the style and manner in which the teacher delivers the practice - this is not about good or bad.  It's just a different take on how different teachers interpret a yoga practice. 

Check out webpages - social media pages you can often get a feel for the teacher/Studio/class for this. 

Questions to ask yourself, 

Class or 1-2-1 - daytime or evening - weekday or weekend. 

Weekly class or are you looking for one off sessions to drop into as and when - some teachers/studio offer both. 

What do you want to get out of your yoga session - movement - mindfulness - breathwork -  to improve mental health - learn traditional yoga - a workout - a softer gentler form of exercise - to increase mobility/flexibility - to chillout - community - a place to escape the stresses and strains of modern living - a modern approach to an ancient practice.   It could be a combination of these things or even something completely different.

Will the environment matter to you - would you prefer a yoga specific space (yoga studio) - a fitness centre - village hall - someone to come to you in your home. 

Other things to consider - transport links - parking - access to the yoga space.

Cost - pay as you go - membership - loyalty options 

Some of these you may not even really know what you want until you try a class.  

All yoga teachers have so much to offer - they really do!

The best way to find the teacher/studio/class for you is to try several different teachers.  You may find the one that suits you perfectly or even a couple  or more that feel great to practice with. 

I hope you find the yoga teacher/studio/class/practice that suits you and you feel and flourish with benefits that yoga offers.
