Meet Zaakiyah and Sheena as they dive deep into the beginner's guide to yoga and share personal stories of how to navigate starting your yoga journey.. You’ll learn how …… You will also meet Sheena’s cat (LOL)
Want to start yoga but don’t know how? Maybe you’ve tried yoga out and haven’t managed to stick with. Even if you’ve been practicing for a while, this episode has something for you.
We’re starting at the beginning. This episode looks into how and where to start your yoga journey, what to expect in a class, different types of yoga and red flags from studios and teachers.
We also chat about props you might have at home and alternatives to mats- because even though yoga is a $88 billion industry, you don’t have to spend money to practice yoga.
