I am a beginner. What class should I choose?

In general, lessons marked as “gentle” can be recommended for beginners. Marked in turquoise (green) on the website and in the reservation system. The pace of these lessons is slower, there is more time to explain, set up and breathe through the pose. But some people are satisfied with more dynamic lessons, marked in orange, right from the start.

It also depends on which lecturer will suit you. We cannot predict that; we choose our tutors carefully, but everyone has a different personality. Therefore, we recommend that you try several of them to find the right combination for you.

It is ideal to start with a course where one learns the main elements of proper yoga practice (breathing, concentration, execution) and then can attend seminars (workshops) where one can improve further.

Do you prefer more space around you in class?

Evening classes are popular, and the space around the mat is often not that big 🙂 If you like more space, come to practice outside the main times and enjoy classes in a more intimate atmosphere.

Is reservation necessary?

For open classes in the afternoon and evening, we recommend booking especially to clients with a Multisport card. Classes tend to be attended, and a reservation ensures your place inside. But in general, if you come to the studio early and pay by card, you will surely get to practice.

Courses, workshops or other events must be booked on our website and paid in advance.

More FAQ

DO YOU HAVE MATS IN THE STUDIO?
Yes, in the studio we have mats, blocks, straps, and blankets. You can disinfect the mats before use with the available washer spray and cloth. After the end of the class we ask you to take the equipment back to it’s designated location. For a small fee you can also borrow a non-slip, micro-fiber yoga towel, washed after each use, or a towel/bath robe for the shower.

CAN YOU PARK YOUR CAR?
In Březinova street it is possible to park for free at the weekend, in adjacent streets also on weekdays until 8am, and after 8pm. All street spots are payable by cell phone and/or kiosk. At the end of our street there’s also a public parking lot for a mere 30 CZK / hour. More detailed information can be found on our bulletin board.

I’VE NEVER PRACTICED AND/OR I’M NOT FLEXIBLE
During yoga it is not about looking good, being flexible or strong, but how you feel during and especially after class. Nobody will inspect you and you don’t need to examine others. You can either come to a beginners class or choose any of the classes available and gradually build up strength and flexibility.

WHAT TO WEAR?
Anything comfortable. Shorts/pants/leggings/t-shirt/tank top. If you want less sweat and to help the teacher to adjust you (he needs to see the legs and arms), shorts above the knee, or leggings and t-shirt with short sleeves are better than wide trousers and long-sleeved t-shirt. It is good to hold off on watches, jewelry, and everything that could get in the way while you practice. Practice without shoes, preferably barefoot.

IS YOGA SUITABLE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN?
Yoga represents a safe and natural method of preparation for birth and motherhood. The class consists of poses, that are aimed at gentle stretching and relaxation of the body and also improvement in the posture, so that a woman may physically cope with the new weight of the breasts and belly. Breathing exercises and exercises to improve pelvic floor function prepare a woman to give birth. Exercise during pregnancy creates a safe space to deepen the relationship of baby and mum and also demonstrably improves the regeneration of your body after childbirth. If you haven’t done yoga before, you can begin to practice the classes for pregnant women with a permission from your doctor and start with the exercise after the 13^th week. If you have sufficient knowledge about pregnancy and experience with yoga, you can come to any lesson from our schedule and adapt the exercises to your body’s needs.

If we do not have classes specifically for pregnant women, we recommend “gentle” turquoise (green) lessons.

Code of Yogis

Yogis come to a class on time well in advance not to distract other students and the teacher during the class. If it happens, that they come late, they try to disrupt the course of the class as little as possible. Separately they loosen up and warm up with sun salutations. Yogis stay (with the exception of medical complications) throughout the whole class; and if they need to leave earlier, let the teacher know before the start of a class.

Yogis lock all their belongings in a locker in the locker room and brings only necessary stuff to the studio.
Yogis takes off shoes before entering the locker room or the studio.
Yogis don’t bring glasses or mugs into the studio as they might be knocked over.
Yogis’ mobile phones are off: sound and vibration. It’s advisable to leave them in the locker.

On entry to the room yogis quiet the voice and try to create a peaceful environment in order not to disturb other yogis on their mats, already prepared and often calmed down.
Yogis have appropriate comfortable clothing for the class. Yogis are committed to not disturbing others with the smell of his body, in case of doubt uses the shower before exercise. Also they do not use strong perfumes or deodorants that would interfere with the others focus on exercise, during the breathing techniques and meditation. Sweating comes naturally when working out and should not be eliminated.
There are mats and other equipment to borrow in the studio. Before using, yogis can use a cloth and a disinfecting spray to wash the mat. After the class yogis return the borrowed equipment carefully to the designated location.

Yogis come to a class with an empty stomach: at least an hour and half after a light meal and three or more hours after a heavy meal. Yoga will work better on the body.
Yogis communicate with the teacher, if they have some health problems. Yogis know, however, that a yoga teacher is not a doctor nor a psychiatrist.
Yogis leave their ego and competition at the door. They focus on themself; observing or trying to look like another can lead to injury.
Yogis know that yoga is for everyone and it is not necessary to have previous experience, but you must be considerate to your own body.

Tat tvam asi

My name is Richard and I am the proprietor of Yoga Karlín studio. My first introduction to yoga was roughly in the middle of elementary school, in the large library, in the room of my elder brother, from whose windows one could see the green slopes of Rokytnice and hear the murmur of the Black Creek. Cordovan paperback laconically called Yoga from the author with a strange name (Andre Van Lysbeth:)) long attracted my attention. One day, I pulled it out and read and read again, because a lot of things struck me as interesting and incomprehensible. There was no internet so I experimented: I ate Kollatha (raw) breakfast, was sucking in salt water through the nose, walking to school I taught myself to willfully control the breath and tried to sleep in shoulder stand. J Seriously, I couldn’t get to sleep.

Fast forward 15 years and during intensive work in investment banking, I rediscovered yoga and found out that I needed it, to survive. I was looking for the deeper meaning of life, once again experimented with yoga, tantra and meditation and became knowledgeable with the methodology of science explored as a non-esoteric access to the essence of self. After I found it, I felt the need to share this positive experience with others, I opened Yoga Karlín, to allow other people to enter the adjustment stream of yoga.

A carefully selected team of teachers, receptionists and operatives help me with that and for that I am grateful to them. We are all one.
