The question of how to choose a good studio cannot be answered unambiguously. It is important to study what areas of yoga are, and then, based on their description, decide on practical exercises. There are two classes of yoga: traditional and modern. Most institutions adhere to the first category, however, due to the physiological and emotional state of a person, as well as the varying degree of his preparation, modern methods are practiced - simpler than classical directions.

"Bhakti" | doctrine of love and devotion to God | classes are related to spiritual practice: meditation, worship, prayer. The course includes listening to texts from the holy letter |
"Jnana" | path of knowledge | the purpose of the lesson is self-knowledge, establishing a connection with God, by mastering the information provided by the teacher and the holy letter |

There is a plan according to which it will be easier for a beginner to navigate the choice of an institution. The first thing you should pay attention to is the type of techniques that are taught in the studio. If a beginner in this business has not fully understood all directions, then he can attend a trial lesson, which can be both paid and free (depending on the organization).
The second is the interior. Much depends on the interior environment of the room, it should be comfortable, light and spacious, preferably with ventilation, so that fresh air never dries up. A person should be liberated during classes.
Third, the team. Pleasant friendly interaction should be not only with a mentor, but also with any other person (classmate, attendants).
The fourth is the age limit. Studios can be for a child or adults, as well as a combined type.
Fifth is location.It is advisable to choose an institution near your home or work to make it easier to get around.

Eighth - reviews. According to the comments of clients, you can give some assessment of the activities of the studio, which will help you understand whether it is worth signing up for classes there.
