What style of yoga is right for me? There are many different styles of yoga. Some styles are fast paced and vigorous while others are gentle and slow-moving. All of the styles of yoga have benefits, so evaluating your individual needs and personality type will help point you in the right direction.

There are several ways for people to get started with yoga at All One Yoga. Classes are currently open to all levels and can vary in vigor depending on the style of class. If you are new to yoga and looking for something less intense then we would recommend starting with Vinyasa, Flow & Restore, or Sacred. Hot Hatha is also a good place to begin as the class is always the same poses, and you are holding them a little bit longer then some other types. Just be ready to get sweaty with Hot Hatha, as it is over 100 degrees in the room! See when these classes are by clicking here to view our schedule! Is it safe to practice with an injury or medical condition? When considering a yoga practice, you may have health concerns such as low back pain, joint pain in the knees, shoulders, or other locations, or simply stiffness from an old sports injury. Before your classes communicate these concerns to the teacher so that he or she may better guide and assist you in your practice. Yoga can help heal and prevent injuries, and you can learn how to heal yourself by working directly with the teacher. You may wish to schedule a private session or attend classes that are smaller in size to allow more time for the instructor to work with you. Forrest and Anusara Yoga are great styles for working on healing injuries. Read more about these styles in class descriptions, and find a time that works for you. What are the most common helpful suggestions or tips?

* Like all other physical workouts it is best to begin gently - stick to the easy poses. As your body adapts, you can advance to the more challenging poses. Be methodical and systematic.

* Drink water! Room temperature is recommended.

* Avoid overeating and fasting. It is recommended to avoid eating within 2 hours of your class. This allows your body time to fully digest.

* Yoga clothing should be loose and as comfortable as possible. Form-fitting cotton/lycra pants and shirts are the best.

* Your body temperature will change. Layers are best to wear so that you are comfortable throughout your practice. Be prepared to work in bare feet.

* Bring a towel to the hotter yoga classes to wipe your mat. We carry mats for rent or purchase and towels for rent.

* Yoga is a process. Be compassionate and patient with yourself. Best results are obtained if you maintain a consistent practice. Can I do yoga if I am pregnant?
