  Find what works for you! You’re not going to love (or even like) every type of workout. Keep trying different things until you find a routine that will keep you going back. And keep that routine varied –mix of cardio and strength. Be kind to yourself. Getting to the gym is the hardest part so if you don’t have your best workout, give gratitude and thanks to yourself for showing up! Also, try to find a workout buddy (or technology app). Having someone to hold you accountable will give you that extra push to keep going

Introduce yourself to your teacher and tell her why you've decided to take yoga. Get a good mat! I can't say enough for investing in a good mat! I almost forgot the most important part - HAVE FUN! Enjoy your class, be okay with not being good. So what. Everyone was a beginner. Enjoy it!

  Advice for New Members:
  Working out in the water adds a new dimension to traditional land exercise. Both forms are beneficial but water has specific properties that give your body more support. We weigh less in the water so there is less impact on the joints, yet one can actually burn more fat and calories due to the RESISTANCE water provides as we move through it. If you don’t like to sweat, water continually cools the body even when you are working very hard to get your heart rate up and strengthen your muscles. And best of all, water massages your body as it surrounds your every move. And who doesn’t benefit from that!
  Best of all, IT’S FUN!! Give it a try.
