Never done yoga before? We have a few tips to get you started: Don't be intimidated. With yoga, everyone starts in the same place. (Yes, the woman doing a handstand next to you couldn't even touch her toes the first time she stepped on the mat.) It's ok to be a beginner. Take "I can't" out of your vocabulary. Does a pose seem hard or out of reach? Tell yourself, "I'm not there right now," then focus on getting as close as possible. Every stage in your yoga journey is the right stage. Come in with one goal: To be present. Being present through wobbles and tough transitions also teaches you to be present during the relaxing and empowering moments on the mat too.
