New to yoga?

1. Begin where you are

Delight Yoga offers authentic Yoga for different levels of experience. In the beginner classes, the teacher will give more detailed instructions for each pose, for a strong foundation of safe alignment. It is also possible for new yoga students to take part in classes that are labelled at all levels. In these classes, teachers will offer modifications to accommodate all levels of experience. Experienced classes are best suited for advanced yoga students. If you are completely new to yoga, we recommend you to do the Introduction to Yoga Program, a 2-hours introduction session and 3 beginner yoga classes, which is the perfect way to begin a yoga practice.

The Mysore classes are at the level of self-practice. This is the traditional method for learning the Ashtanga Yoga Series. You will be carefully guided through the series, step by step and at your own pace. No experience or prior knowledge of the sequence is needed, all you need is a willingness to learn.

2. Explore all our classes

At Delight Yoga, we offer a lot of different classes. During a Vinyasa or Ashtanga class, you will transition from pose to pose, strengthening and stretching the muscles and challenging your body and mind. Yin and Restorative Yoga classes help us to relax and reduce stress and anxiety. Hatha and Yin Yang classes will encourage moments of equanimity in your everyday life. Yoga classes like Pranayama, Meditation, or Yoga Nidra offer techniques you can use to quiet your mind and be more aware of your thoughts and actions. On our classes overview page you can find more information per class.

3. Try out different teachers

Every yoga teacher has a different approach, so your experience can be radically different from one class to another - even in classes within the same yoga style. Some teachers focus more on the physical aspects of yoga, others on yogic philosophy and spirituality. Some give hands-on adjustments while others let you find your own way through the practice. We recommend trying out several teachers to find out who resonates with you.

4. Visit our five locations

At Delight Yoga, we have five studios: four in Amsterdam and one in Den Haag. In all of our studios, you will find a peaceful and personal atmosphere. We recommend visiting all our studios to see which one resonates with you the most. And, if you can't make it to the studio you can always practice with us [online](/delight-online/video-on-demand} wherever you are.

5. Join our community

We believe that Yoga and Ayurveda give us the wisdom to reconnect to loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. We honour and share the roots of Yoga and Ayurveda from India’s ancient traditions. At Delight Yoga, you will find a community of like-minded people you can connect with through our daily Mysore program, daily Silent Sit Meditation sessions, and monthly special classes.
