Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be flexible to start?

No. Flexibility is a result of the practice, not a prerequisite. The postures adapt to your current level, and you progress over time.

Which style of yoga should I choose?

It depends on your goal: dynamic styles (like Vinyasa) work the body more; gentle styles (like Hatha or Yin) focus on relaxation. Talk with the instructor to find the right fit.
