All you need for yoga is comfortable clothing and bare feet.

When you go to a yoga studio Newport you will be amazed at how simple it is. Some yoga studios are more luxurious than others, but each one is about simplicity. A yoga studio is a large, spacious and airy room. The teacher is always on one end of the room, with their mat and maybe a few candles or some incense, and the students are in front of the teacher with their mats. There are communal mats in a corner for anyone who needs to borrow a mat, and often there are props in the same corner too.

Yoga studios are by nature simple, clean and spacious. And all a person needs is comfortable clothing, any clothing they choose really, and bare feet. Yoga studios are always shoe-free zones although you can wear socks if you prefer.

Try out a yoga class

We do not know of a single yoga studio that does not happily share their yoga classes. If you are trying yoga for the first time, almost every studio will invite you to come and try out a class. Yoga is an inclusive exercise form and everyone is invited, young, old, male, female, experienced or new. Yoga is a non-competitive exercise form and while there might be some brilliant yogis in the studio, not everyone is of the same level. Most studios do offer beginner classes for the real newbies, but thereafter, once a person has grasped the basics and an understanding of the poses, there is no competition. You do yoga to the best of your ability, the yoga teacher is always there to guide you and support you, and slowly you get better and better. Slowly you might even want to buy yoga clothes although there is no pressure ever!

Cost of yoga

When you do join a yoga studio you can choose how you want to do it. You can pay per class, although this can work out quite expensive, you can get an unlimited monthly pass or you can get a pass that gives you a certain amount of classes per month. We do urge you to try different yoga classes, the different types, like yin, vinyasa, ashtanga, Hatha and restorative and also, try and go to yoga at least twice a week. Yoga is so good for your body and for your mind and is an incredibly mindful experience. One yoga class a week will leave you feeling fabulous. Two yoga classes will leave you feeling fabulous and mindful. Three or more a week will have you feeling and looking totally amazing! Whatever the cost of yoga is, it is worth it, but obviously find a studio that fits in with your exercise budget.

We know it sounds cliché but yoga really is one of those life-changing experiences. Yoga is not hard because with each visit to the yoga studio Newport you do get stronger and better each class.
