Yoga For Beginners

We love welcoming beginners to The Freyja Project!  Please review our top 10 tips for making the most out of your first classes at our studio.

1. Visit thefreyjaproject.com. Check out our current class schedule and read class descriptions.

2. Sign up for classes or workshops.  Freyja Foundations and classes marked “all levels” are appropriate for beginners.

3. Arrive 10-15 minutes early.  Check in with your teacher and let him or her know you are new to the practice, and whether you have any injuries or medical conditions.

4. Practice on an empty stomach.  We recommend that you not eat 2-3 hours prior to class. Drink plenty of water prior to class, and if you need some quick energy, have some juice or fruit.

5. Dress appropriately.  Wear comfortable workout clothing. Layers help to adjust for temperature changes during and after class.

6. Remove your shoes before entering the studio.  Leave your shoes in a cubby outside or in the changing room. 

7. Turn off your cell phone.  Keep the outside world at bay during your class, which is a gift to yourself and a kind gesture to your fellow students.

8. Practice often.  For maximum benefit, practice 4-6 times per week. 2-3 sessions per week will show improvement for most students within three months.

9. Be patient.  Progress can take time, so be compassionate with yourself. With patience and discipline you can reach your goals

10. Reward yourself!  A little extra love can keep you inspired. Whether a therapeutic spa treatment from among our amazing bodywork services or a special treat from the Freyja Boutique, treat yourself to something you deserve for your hard work.
