2. How many times a week should you do yoga?
For beginners, starting with 1–2 classes per week is ideal to build strength and flexibility gradually. As you become more comfortable, aiming for 3–5 sessions weekly can enhance your practice and overall well-being. This will also provide you with the strength and mobility needed for injury prevention and recovery from playing in the mountains here in Anaconda. Always listen to your body and allow rest days as needed.
3. What type of yoga is best for beginners?
Slow Flow yoga is an excellent choice for beginners. It offers a slower pace, allowing you to focus on foundational poses and breathing techniques. Yinyasa is also great because it is mostly on the floor and focuses on deep stretching, which is ideal as a complementary practice to an active lifestyle. At Anaconda Yoga, we provide beginner-friendly classes that emphasize alignment and mindfulness, ensuring a supportive environment for new practitioners.
4. How much yoga should a beginner do?

7. What are 3 common types of yoga?
Three popular types of yoga include:
- Hatha Yoga: A gentle introduction to basic yoga poses and breathing techniques. You can experience this in Chakra Yoga classes, which are often pop-up classes on the schedule, and a hint of this in the Slow Flow classes led by Marquis, who is trained in Classical Hatha Tantra.
- Vinyasa Yoga: A dynamic style that links breath with movement, offering a more vigorous workout. You can experience this style in Power Flow and Slow Flow.
- Yin Yoga: A slow-paced style that involves holding poses for extended periods, targeting deep connective tissues. You can experience a taste of this in Yinyasa.
Each style offers unique benefits, and exploring different types can help you find the best fit for your goals.
