Beginning Yoga Class Sequence
Hello everyone, and welcome to my yoga class!
First, we will start with a few basic stretches to limber up our bodies. This is important, especially if you are new to yoga, because you don’t want to start out by straining yourself.
Next, we will move on to some basic poses. These are simple poses that are a good introduction to the more challenging poses later in the class.
Finally, we will move on to the more challenging poses. But don’t worry, I’ll give you plenty of time to warm up and prepare yourself before we get to them.
I hope you enjoy today’s class!
