Starting Yoga some tips for you

Clothing should be loose and comfortable for ease of movement.
Eating eat only a light snack at least 2 hours before a class as some postures can make you feel nauseated if there is undigested food in the stomach.  It's okay to have something light, like fruit, before class if energy levels are low.  Drink water before and especially after class but not during the session.
Hygiene It is important that your feet are clean as it helps to keep our mats clean and hygienic
Competition yoga is non competitive.  Don't compare yourself with others or with yourself as you were yesterday, or how you wish to be tomorrow.  Yoga is about here and now.
ENJOY !!!!!
