What to Wear
One of the advantages of Yoga is that it can be practiced almost
anywhere, without special equipment, and by people of all ages. In
looking for a studio, choose a place that is relatively free from
distractions, the place should be quiet, clean and well ventilated.
Some loose fitting clothes will be enough for you to start with. Using
a mat, a blanket, or towel will provide support and added comfort when
you do lying or sitting positions. It's best to wear loose or stretch
clothing, such as shorts, sweat clothes, or leotards. Yoga is
traditionally practiced barefoot; however, socks or soft-shoes can be
put on. It is also best to practice Yoga on an empty stomach or about
one or two hours after a full meal. Empty your stomach, clean your
nostril and throat, and consume a glass of warm water 15 minutes before
you start. You may eat fruit, energy bar, drink a glass of juice or
water an hour before class to avoid getting really hungry during
practice.
Having attended classes and learned the basic techniques at Purely
Yoga you can practise at times convenient to you in your
own home.Practicing first thing in the morning is an excellent way to
revitalize the mind and body, while practicing Yoga Breathing and
Meditation Exercises at night helps induce a deep, restful sleep. Like
in regular exercise, you always start with easy poses to condition your
body for the more difficult exercises that follows. Do not strain
yourself. Pause when you feel pain or fatigue. Relaxing in between
difficult exercises is also beneficial. Yoga Sessions need not be
lengthy, but should be done daily. As little as 15 minutes of exercises
and 15 minutes of Breathing and Meditation each day can yield benefits.

Yoga Props
As mentioned earlier, you basically do not need anything in order to Practice Yoga. All you need is the attitude - the desire to expand your self awareness. But this does not completely eliminate the need for the different Yoga Props. These props help you achieve the proper alignment, balance and make the pose a bit easier. The use of props also minimizes the strain and supports your muscles, thus allowing you to save your energy by exerting less effort on a pose. Yoga props help people with Medical Ailments and the Elderly to cross their limitations. The props provide support, enabling them to do the poses that their ailments or old age prevent them from doing.
Here are some Yoga Props to start with:
- non-slip mat
- strap or belt
- cotton or wool blanket
- chair with arm rests
- wooden or foam block or a phone book
There will be props available in each class, however these will be limited.
