CAN I DO YOGA IF I AM NOT FLEXIBLE?

All you need to do is show up, come as you are, and yoga will help you become more flexible. Wild Flower teachers are trained to offer help to all levels of students, especially beginners.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BEGIN?
Mostly, all you need is you and a little bit of curiosity.
Find a good quality mat. The studio does NOT have mats available to rent. If you are in need of your own mat, we proudly sell Liforme and Jade yoga mats in the studio.
It is always good to have comfortable clothes. Sweatpants, leggings or shorts and a shirt that is not too baggy. You want to be able to move without your clothes shifting around too much.
Also, a water bottle and a small towel can be handy to have.
There are no special shoes requires, as yoga and pilates are practiced barefoot on your mat.
SHOULD I EAT BEFORE CLASS?
It is a good idea to try not to eat 2 to 3 hours before class. In yoga and pilates we practice twisting, bending and turning upside down. If your last meal is not fully digested one could experience indigestion and discomfort. In turn, if you are feeling famished, it is ok to have a light snack 30 minutes before class. A banana, a little yogurt, a handful of nuts or some juice can be helpful. It is also a good idea to be well hydrated before class.
IS YOGA A RELIGION?
Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy that began in India roughly 5,000 years ago. The philosophy is based on scriptures that provide a framework for spiritual growth, and mastery over the physical and mental body. Yoga often interweaves other philosophies, but it is not necessary to study these paths in order to practice or study yoga. It is also not necessary to surrender your own religious beliefs in order to practice or study yoga.
CAN I STILL DO YOGA IF I AM OVERWEIGHT?
Yes! Yoga is a great place to stretch and move the body. Nobody is judged in a yoga class. Wild Flower classes are a safe and nurturing place for all body types and all levels. Poses can be modified and teachers are trained to help with this. In turn, Yoga and Pilates can help with weight loss by bringing you closer in tune with your body. Yoga and Pilates can tone your muscles and improve your posture. Most importantly, be patient and give yourself time to adapt and ease into the practice. Listen to your body and do what you can. The hardest step will be your first step on to the mat.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO PRACTICE YOGA TO FEEL ITS BENEFITS?
You'll feel the benefits of yoga even if you can only practice once a week. A typical yoga class is an hour long, there are many different times to choose from to fit into your schedule. The health benefits you'll feel will increase as you practice longer and more frequently; practicing 2-3 times per week over longer periods of time will offer incredible results.
