How To Choose A London Yoga Class

By Essie Osborn


Yoga can be beneficial in a number of different ways. A lot of professional athletes use it as a method of increasing flexibility and this in turn can give them an edge on their opponents when reaching for the ball and scoring that crucial goal or getting the basketball in the net. It is also an effective way of reducing stress. However in order to get the full benefits you should check carefully to find an appropriate London yoga class to suit you.

Before you go to a class you should consider what you want to do. You may want to become more flexible to give yourself a better chance of getting on the local football team. Therefore most types of yoga will be appropriate as they focus on improving flexibility.

It should also be stated that there are different types of class available. For example a lot of people want to lose weight. The power version features a more intense version of this type of exercise and therefore is more appropriate for people who crave a more intense variant while at the same time still gaining the benefit of increased flexibility.

There is also the additional benefit in terms of reduced stress. People who deal with stressful situations can often find it hard to focus their mind. Doing exercises on a mat can allow you to switch off the rational side of your mind and the expended energy can make it a lot easier to relax and be less stressed.

As well as a wide array of classes there are also various instructors. As with martial arts some instructors will be very keen to emphasise traditional teaching and methods while others will be keener to mix the authentic side of the exercise with other types of exercise in order to create their own type of workout.

One way of gauging this is to look at their website. Often it will be explicit and say if the class is for beginners or for people who are more experienced. This can then make it easier to find somewhere if you are trying out yoga for the first time or if you have tried it before and want to try a new class.

However people may tend to go to a yoga class because they want a more relaxed approach. Therefore they seek out instructors who will gently help them through their class and not take the more military style approach to teaching. Neither approach is necessarily right or wrong and often people will not be one extreme or the other and will adapt depending on the type of students they get in their class. Their website will often be a good indication of their approach as well as providing details of their qualifications and level of experience.

You can find numerous types of yoga class in London. It is best to use a search engine in order to locate something near you in your local area. You should also check online for more information from people who have attended classes in the past to find out whether or not they would recommend instructors based in your local area. A lot of classes offer free trials so it is worth going to a few in person so that you can find the most appropriate one for your personal fitness goals.
