EXACTLY.

Thanks for that link! I keep seeing studies on what yoga is good for. Apparently, it's good for pretty much everything.

I enjoy yoga when I practice it. It is very good for mindfulness and stress-reduction.

I wear stretch capris, a cotton sports bra, and a stretchy t-shirt that fits kind of tightly. You don't want your clothes to be too tight, but if you wear something loose-fitting, especially up top, you are likely to expose bits of yourself that you might not want to!

Ask about the classes. If you are just getting started, and are out of shape, you probably want to avoid "power" yoga. I'd shy away from Bikram too -- it's done in a high temperature room. I can't even imagine this!

I found a really great link that talks about the type of classes and also suggest what to wear: 4 Ways to Know What to Wear for Yoga - wikiHow

Oh, very important: talk to your instructor beforehand about any physical restrictions you may have. Some yoga instructors get "hands-on" helping you with poses. I had to shout "rotator cuff" to an instructor recently when she tried to "help" me stretch my arm a bit further.

Also, don't force yourself to do anything that feels uncomfortable. Push your body a bit, but if your body says no thank you then just do what feels comfortable.

Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy!
