Considering Prahran Yoga? Avoid These Common
Beginner Fails If youre planning your first
visit to a Yoga studio Prahran, beginners may
feel a little daunted. Being new in a class is
nerve wracking for anyone, but you can boost your
confidence by avoiding these common beginner
fails in your Prahran yoga class. Keeping Your
Shoes On While a good pair of trainers is vital
for most exercise classes, this is not the case
in yoga. Most Prahran yoga studios have a strict
no shoes rule. Youll have your feet, hands and
entire body on and off your yoga mat throughout
the class and you wont want to bring the bits of
the street on to your mat. If youre worried
about going barefoot, look for yoga socks, which
offer grip without breaking the no shoes rule.
Not Switching Your Phone Off Just like at the
cinema, if your entire class is in the moment,
youre going to feel mortified if you start to
hear a familiar ringtone. There will be a shuffle
of shame as everyones feeling of zen is lost,
and you need to dig around in your bag to shut
off that blaring ringtone. Save yourself this
trauma and turn your phone off or better yet,
leave your phone at home or in your car. Letting
Everything Hang Out While baggy clothing may
make you feel more comfortable initially, the
twists, inversions, straddles and standing
forward folds can create problems with this
choice of clothing. Although it may seem
counterintuitive, tighter clothes will be more
discreet than loose items. A tighter outfit will
eliminate the gapping, falling or slipping that
will put more on display than you want. Just
remember that some yoga pants can go a little
translucent, so make sure you check carefully
before you buy. Losing Track of Your Space

Yoga classes can be very popular, so students may
be packed into the space. This means that youll
need to remain aware of your personal space as
you flow into new poses. You dont want to smack
or get smacked while youre feeling zen. Remember
that youre in close quarters, so youll need to
be thoughtful and keep track of your personal
space. The last thing youll want to do is fall
onto someone elses mat or body, creating a
domino effect throughout the whole class it
wont be pretty, and youll end up feeling really
embarrassed. Making Comparisons It is very easy
to walk into a yoga studio and feel overwhelmed
by the abilities of others in the class. Making
comparisons are not likely to boost your
confidence as a beginner, as others may have
perfected their form or are tackling more
advanced poses. Instead of comparing and feeling
bad, try to take inspiration from others around
you. If youre thinking about visiting a yoga

help. We offer Prahran yoga and other wellness
