First of all, when we start we can find ourselves in yoga classes that have nothing to do with what we imagined. Between the arrival in a hot yoga class (Bikram) when we weren't expecting it or the dynamic vinyasa class when we anticipated a calm practice on the ground ... this is disturbing. Lost in the middle of these names? Do not panic, we already guide you a little on Yogamatata with articles published on the different types of yoga (and other articles will gradually come to present each style).

Let it be clear, all of these practices are yoga. And above all, this one goes beyond a simple course with postures. But let's face it, depending on how we work, we all want to find an activity that suits us, and with yoga, anything is possible!

So how do you find this course?


What is my level?

To start, choose yoga level 1, beginners or any level (we will be able to give you variations adapted to beginners in yoga) and this even if you are already very active. The same goes online, you won't have anyone to advise and adjust, so watch beginner level videos. If you really want to start on video, we recommend Yogilab.

For classroom yoga classes, contact teachers, studios, or rooms that just say "yoga," to find out what type of yoga they offer. Also, if you are looking for an à la carte yoga teacher, you will surely find what you are looking for on Trainme!

There are practices, such as ashtanga yoga, which are recommended to start at level 1 and from the start of the school year or in January, depending on the location, because otherwise you may feel a little dropped in this very practice. codified.

Talk to the teachers before going to level 2, intermediate or other. If you practice solo, listen to yourself and if you feel comfortable go "to the level above. "

High price, a guarantee of quality?

Practice locations have extremely high maintenance costs and teachers need to be paid properly, so prices go up quickly. However, many places or teachers offer tariffs for new subscribers, off-peak tariffs, open days, festivals or very low tariffs in less conventional places but without equipment which require bringing your own equipment and to pay attention to the level.

When the weather is fine, outdoor courtyards flourish at affordable prices. By practicing alone and online you can find free videos or subscribe to very cool, sometimes free and often inexpensive applications such as Yogilab.

And let's not forget also that a lot of courses are done on donation to a cause, this does not mean that you only have to put 2 euros, but the amount can remain reasonable, in proportion to your means.

What is certain is that it is not because you will have access to a place worthy of a spa, that the course will meet your expectations. By delving a little, especially on social networks, you will find cheap or free yoga classes, I promise!

Can I practice alone?
If you're just starting out, there are obviously videos and apps online. However, I recommend going to take lessons when you start .
