Rayburn advises newcomers to explore different styles of yoga and instructors until they find one that resonates with them. “It may take a few classes to feel comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you should give up,” she says.

She adds that when beginning a practice, it is important to have the right equipment to start. A comfortable mat, comfortable clothing and water for hydration are essential. Also, creating a tranquil space is a must, as it’s the best way to promote relaxation and focus. Adding subtle aromas of incense and soothing music can enhance the experience. Also, tidying up beforehand helps to reduce distractions.
