Step 1
Research the different types of yoga to find one that appeals to you. Some Yoga styles include Hatha Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga. While these different types of yoga are based on the same poses, the instruction varies. Some are more spiritual, while others are more physical.
-
Step 2
Find a yoga instructor who instructs in the style of yoga that you selected as a good match for you. Visit with the instructor before starting class to see what materials you will need. Typically you need a mat and comfortable clothing.
-
Step 3
Attend classes regularly. While weekly attendance is good, yoga poses improve with guided practice, so try to attend more than once per week.
-
Step 4
Ask your instructor which poses are safe to practice at home. Your instructor will know which poses you are doing well enough to practice independently. Practice these poses independently on a daily basis.
-
Step 5
Read about yoga online or in magazine articles. This will keep you current with new information and trends.
-
Step 6
Attend a yoga retreat. There are yoga retreat centers located around the country. A retreat can provide you with a relaxing break from the stresses of your life while teaching you some new yoga poses.
