Lots of people recommend yoga, but how does one go about starting out? Is it possible to learn on your own or do you at least have to take a few classes at first?
Starting out with yoga
- Thread starter Formerly Rockymtnole
- Start date
I would consider doing a couple of private sessions. Some of the moves are not easy
It’s easy to get started.
Step 1 - Hire hot yoga instructor in yoga pants.
Step 2 - Take her photo in said pants and post on HROT.
And so on …
Yes. Lots of stuff on YouTube. Also check out free classes in public parks
Better watch yourself.....it's illegal in some states.
Dude looks like an exercise ball....
Are you a member of a decent sized gym? They usually have “free” classes as well. That’s how I started out.
At home with Amazon videos is how I got started. Bought a couple mats at Aldi for $10 each.
I broke my leg pretty bad a few years ago and bout the DDP Yoga to help me regain function and movement. I still do it a few times a week to help keep me limber
This. Pre-pandemic I was doing a body flow class twice a week. The instructor recruited me into it, and I just followed along. The results were significant and came quickly. The instructor really helped me along with subtle nods and instructions during the class, and afterwards if I had questions.
I did have to learn just how territorial the ladies are in the yoga room. They should just paint a spot on the floor where they put their mat each class.
I really enjoyed it for three years. I’ve moved onto some other group classes held in bigger, more airy spaces, but I may go back to yoga this year.
Google bikram yoga. Wear a speedo, grow a man bun and you're the next guru. The only yoga I do is if the class has limber coeds. Since I'm Indian they assume I have additional mystic insight. I don't. Sadly due to covid and ball and chain, those days are done. Something to be said for college towns. 🕉 shanti. 🙏 namaste.
If you have no experience and you arent looking to do in person classes, Yoga by Adrienne is a good start. Then if you want a real challenge and see more of what Yoga has to offer, I would highly recommend trying the free trial from AloMoves.
I joke, but the guy removed the stigma of yoga for a lot of people. Yoga is wonderful for circulation, injury prevention, and mobility.
Also, if you do some of the harder stuff, it can really develop size and definition in your shoulders and triceps. Since learning to do stands and more arm balances its actually really developed my arms in a way I couldnt with weights.
If you’re within driving distance of a Lifetime fitness, I really enjoyed their offerings and scenery. Definitely have beginner yoga. Then move into hot yoga etc.

I did DDP yoga for a while at home. Worked really well for getting my back and core rehabbed. I think he went to a subscription service so you can try it for a few months rather than buying the DVDs
I Yoga'd every damn one of your wifes and moms last night
Good yoga requires goats I think...
I'm probably in no position to judge, but that's kind of a weird kink.

Good suggestions, all.

Yoga with Adriene on Youtube is good to start with. She's hot, goofy, and has a cool dog that chills out during the routine. Hundreds of free videos with other good instructors as well (yoga with tim, brett larkin, cassandra, jessica richburg, five parks yoga). Just search beginner yoga and you will have more than enough to pick from. I've been doing it pretty much daily for over 3 yrs and have moved onto intermediate to low advanced and still have more videos than I can ever possibly do.
Learn the basic poses, then sign up for classes at your gym.

Agree with Lifetime, but most other decent gyms offer yoga. No way I’d have the discipline to do yoga on my own.

A little Texas A&M foreplay before the Aggie threesome really gets down to business.
Brown goat likes to watch.
