Rules of etiquette in yoga classes
Yoga surrounds us everywhere: in gyms, in video tutorials on YouTube, and even in the workplace. You may have already tried out its advantages, such as improved tone, increased flexibility and just a good mood. For beginners, it is important to know what is required of them when "entering" the yoga space. Do you know her rules of etiquette?
1. Before starting classes
- Make sure you are aware of which level you have enrolled in. – Try the entry level, and there is nothing shameful about it. Even if you think you're in great shape, yoga has its own characteristics. It will be much easier (and safer) for you to start from the basics and gradually acclimatize and adapt. Also, respect the group and don't keep others waiting for you.
- Think about your clothes. – Wear what you feel comfortable moving around in. It makes no sense to immediately shell out a round sum for an expensive tracksuit. Yoga is a feeling of comfort from being in your own body, not a fashionable catwalk!
- Come on time. – Calculate the time needed to park your car, find a place for your bike, or walk from the subway. Be on your mat before class starts. If you are late, you will distract the whole group and throw it off the rhythm.
- Do not wear perfume and take off your shoes. – People don't always take scents kindly, so respect the common space. In addition, each studio has a place where you need to leave your shoes, as the floors in the room must be clean.
- Check out the room. – Pay attention to how other people lay out their mats, and do not hesitate to ask the instructor any questions you are interested in. He will definitely tell you what you might need during class.
- Inform the instructor about your health status. – If you are pregnant, have recently undergone surgery, have been injured, or are an absolute beginner in yoga, your teacher should know about this – for your own safety!
2. During classes
- If you're going to be late... – Traffic jams. Bosses. Children. However, keep in mind that in some studios it is unacceptable to be late, while in others a maximum delay of 10 minutes is allowed. If you feel awkward about being late, pause and then take a few deep breaths before opening the door to the classroom. Go in quietly and choose a seat at the back so as not to attract attention or be a distraction. Be an adult and take responsibility for your mistakes in time management.
- Turn off the phone. – Turn it off completely, not just the sound. Believe it or not, a constantly vibrating phone can be just as distracting as a beep. If your job requires you to be in touch, turn off both sound and vibration – then you can discreetly check your phone as needed.
- Stay on savasana! – Savasana (or corpse pose) is usually practiced in the last minutes of yoga classes. This is a time to rest your body and mind to calm down and recover. And this is a really important part of the practice, so don't run away hastily in front of savasana.
3. The most important thing: have fun doing it!
Remember, patience pays off. Yoga styles and instructors vary, so if something doesn't suit you, keep looking. Give yourself time for yoga to transform you both physically and mentally. Don't pay attention to what other people are doing next to you, and don't get upset if something doesn't work out right away. If your breathing can remain deep and even during your classes, if you do not cause yourself any discomfort or pain– then congratulations: You have become a yogi.
