powerful information about how to achieve massive improvements in your health and is easier than you think.
To Western eyes this process seems to be rather strange. We are told by Yogi masters that practicing this type of meditative breathing, the alternating nostrils, the breath and stomach pushes works together with your mantra to create balance and harmony in the body, expel toxins and empower the mind. Even if you don't completely believe this, you will be expanding your lung capacity, strengthening your stomach and learning a different way to do focus meditation on your mantra, all good things. Here is a video of this process being performed to help you visualize and learn this technique: http://youtu.be/gvtx62lUho0

Food
We all need to eat on a regular basis and it is important to have energy before yoga class. It is a good idea to have a nourishing meal 2 to 3 hours ahead of time but you do not want to eat just before class. Of course you know your body best and the energy levels that you need to maintain. Yoga can be demanding physically so ensure good nutrition throughout the day prior to your class and have a quick snack ready right after.
Mastering Flexibility
People are more flexible at different times of the day. Knowing the best times to your most flexible will allow you to modify poses so that if you are performing Yoga at a time when your body is not at 100% you can protect yourself from injury.

What To Wear
Make sure that you wear proper fitting and comfortable clothing that also allows the instructor to see your form and offer corrections when necessary. You want to also make sure that your clothing will remain just tight enough to allow you to stretch without exposing body parts. Depending on the temperature it's a good idea to wear several layers of clothing that can be removed as you warm up. Capri length athletic pants that can be removed after warm up with shorts is always a good starter option and so are light stretchable athletic sweat pants. Remember that Yoga is practiced barefoot so before starting class to good idea to examine your feet and make sure that your feet are reasonably clean and slightly moisturized for proper grip.

What To Bring
It's always a good idea to bring a Yoga mat and of course a bottle of water. Some studios will actually allow you to use their mats but for a few dollars you can have your own and reduce the risk of any kind of communicable virus being passed on to you, such as a cold.
What To Expect
What you can expect is contingent on the style of yoga and the kind of class as well as the instructor. Typically most Yoga classes start in a pensive and reflective mode with a few gentle stretches. You can probably expect some form of guided meditation and then you will move to a series of traditional Yoga poses and eventually end in a form of relaxation pose laying on your back for total relaxation. The instructor may give some additional recommendations and speak to everyone at this point and the class usually ends with a slight bow with hands held in prayer position speaking the word, Namaste.
Yoga Etiquette
There is a form of etiquette that exists in Yoga and he can vary from studio to studio, but typically it is important that you show respect to both the teacher and the students by following these simple instructions. They are not difficult and can help you get the most out of your classes: 1. Make sure that you remove your shoes before entering the main studio floor. Most people will wear thongs or sandals that can be easily removed and stored in cubbies throughout the studio.

2. Turn off any cell phones or distractive devices that could interrupt the class. While this seems commonplace most people do not do this and it causes upset feelings. 3. Let the instructor know that this will be your first class. If you feel more comfortable in the back of the room this is fine but make sure that you pay attention to the instructors so that you can perform the poses correctly without causing injury to yourself. 4. Trying to use the restroom before classes to avoid interrupting everyone as you leave the studio floor. 5. Leave the perfume at home. Nothing is more distracting than a room full of bodies covered in different overpowering scents. 6. Try not to leave the studio floor except in an emergency. This can really upset people who are trying to get into the right meditative state. 7. Leave sufficient room between you and others on the floor. While many of these suggestions seem relatively commonplace, assuredly you will see people from all ages and walks of life that will do the things mentioned here. Dont be one of these people. It's important to remember that everyone is taking class at the same time so we all need to cooperate to make sure that the experience is a positive and reflective one for all people involved.
