SStarting a new yoga course can feel uncertain, especially if you have never practised yoga before. We want your first day at Meiyogam to feel calm and welcoming. Here's a simple guide to help you know what to expect.
Before you come
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move and breathe freely during your yoga session. Come with an empty stomach, or after only a light snack an hour or two before. Mats are available at the studio, though many students prefer to bring their own.
- Comfortable clothes in a breathable fabric
- A small towel and a bottle of water
- Arrive ten minutes early on your first day
How a session runs
- A few minutes of quiet sitting to arrive.
- Gentle loosening of the joints.
- Postures, taught slowly and adapted to you.
- Breathing practice.
- Closing rest and a moment of stillness.
Teachers explain each step clearly, in Tamil and English, and offer simpler versions whenever you need them.
Tell us about your health
Please let your teacher know about any injury, health condition or pregnancy before the session, so the practice can be adapted for you.
Most of all, come as you are. Every practitioner at Meiyogam once stood where you are now.
