Not sure where to start as a beginner to yoga?

When I started practising yoga it was with no background as to what it was all about and what was involved. My first introduction to yoga was in a class where my partner had invited me to. It was full of strange terms and even more strange exercises.

Initially I found it hard to understand as it was so foreign to what I had experienced until then. It took me several months to be comfortable with the postures. I wondered at the time whether there was a more effective way to learn about yoga.

When we started to get material together for www.liveyogalife.com one of the things I had on my to-do list was get several of Australia’s best yoga teachers to record their best beginners yoga program. This would be a series of classes that took an absolute beginners – with no experience of yoga at all – to being comfortable with attending a beginners level yoga class at their local yoga studio.

We were blessed with two such programs:

Free Yoga ClassVinyasa Hatha Beginners series by Mark O’Brien – purchase complete series of 6 classes or any of the individual classes; and

Free Yoga ClassHatha Yoga (Jivamukti Style) Beginners series by Sarah Trestrail – purchase the complete set of 7 classes or any of the individual classes.

Both of these set of classes are perfect for anyone with no experience of yoga and a low level of fitness.
