Beginner-Friendly Yoga
YOGAthletica yoga classes that are appropriate for beginners.
Some are easy, some are still intense.
Be sure to check the intensity level...and best to err on the side of caution.
Just because you are a beginner doesn't mean you don't like to sweat.
And...if you don't like to sweat, look for the low intensity and accessible classes.
Something for everyone.
