Hello, folks. I am planning to start with yoga classes. I understand that yoga is more than exercise. It is entire philosophy. I would like to know how a beginner can understand yoga. Is it too difficult? I always have a little fear of something new. I will appreciate all your advices. Thanks.

Hi. I think with the right teacher, it won't be a problem. Yoga is an old discipline. It originates from India and it is several thousand years old. Its main goal is uniting one person with God. You need to achieve harmony between body, mind and soul. This will be achieved through breath control, stillness, movement and physical discipline. There are many Yoga methods. The most popular one in America is Hatha Yoga. Good luck!
