Guide

Choose the right pace

Start with Hatha Yoga. It is the 60 minute class Hae lists at beginner level, and postures are held long enough to learn them. Yin Yoga is the other beginner-level class, slow and long held, and Chair Yoga is open to any age or ability with no experience needed.

Vinyasa, Power Yoga and Mandala Vinyasa are marked intermediate, so ask the instructor when you are ready to try them. Gentle, Stretch, Backbend, Inside Flow and Chair are open to all levels. Every mat class is 60 minutes.

Guide

Prepare for class

Wear comfortable clothing, avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand and arrive early. Tell the instructor about pain, injury, pregnancy or any advice you have received from a medical professional. Mats are available at the studio, though you can bring your own.

Guide

Progress without comparison

Range and balance vary from person to person. Use the variation your instructor gives you and focus on steady breathing and control. Regular attendance matters more than forcing a deeper posture in one class.

A first mat class can be a four-class trial at RM99 or a single drop-in at RM50, and a ten-class pack is RM300. Private yoga is one to one. The Yoga price guide compares them and the packages page carries the current terms. Check the timetable for this week before you travel.
