Get into the zone with a workout designed with the beginner in mind. Two 20-minute sessions make it easier to learn the basics and prevent discouragement. Another nice technique is the outdoors setting and the teacher-pupil dynamic employed by the instructors; one person does the routine while the other gives tips and techniques on proper form. The yoga-newbie will also learn the importance of breath, the most fundamental aspect of this eternal and eternally fresh approach to fitness and relaxation.
