Start Here: Yoga for Complete Beginners

Nine short lessons that take you from never having practised to a comfortable first class.

Start Here: Yoga for Complete Beginners
If you have never rolled out a mat, start here. This course explains what happens in a yoga class, what you actually need, and how the most common poses are meant to feel in your body. Each lesson is short enough to do before work. By the end you will know a dozen poses by name, be able to follow a teacher's cues, and walk into a studio class without feeling lost.
