Common questions.
Where should I start if I have never done yoga?
Start with the guide on how to begin, then read about the first class. For a first class people usually pick hatha or a gentle vinyasa and tell the teacher that they are new.
Do I need to be flexible to come to a class?
No. Flexibility is one of the results of practice, not a requirement. Every posture has an easier variation, and the teacher will show it.
How often should I practise in the first month?
One or two classes a week is a good start for the first month: enough for the body to get used to it while the schedule stays realistic. The guide on frequency has the details.
