All new yogis have to start somewhere. Some of us are content to begin with a home practice or evening classes, leaving early morning classes to the more advanced yogis. But some yogis don’t want to take it slow. Some yogis would rather jump in with both feet by starting their practice with early morning classes. Go big or go home, right?
It’s your first yoga class and it starts at 6 AM? You go, brave yogi! If you’ve decided to start a new practice and tackle early morning yoga at the same time, these are the thoughts that will almost definitely cross your mind—especially if you’re not a morning person. But don’t worry. It’s all worth it in the end!
