Yoga for beginners in Penshurst: you don’t need to be flexible to start

Trying Yoga at Inspired in Penshurst

If you’ve been waiting until you’re more flexible to try yoga, you can stop waiting. Beginners are welcome at Inspired, and you don’t need to arrive knowing the poses or being able to touch your toes.

What kind of yoga will you find here?

Our yoga is Hatha-based, with guided movement, attention to breath and a rest at the end. Your instructor leads the class, so there’s no sequence you need to memorise beforehand.

Classes take place in our light upstairs studio in Penshurst, with a maximum of twelve people. It’s a small setting where you can get familiar with the practice over time.

Your first class is a chance to learn

Some words and movements may be new. That’s expected. Let your instructor know you haven’t done yoga before, listen to their guidance and ask if something isn’t clear. You don’t have to match the person beside you.

Try approaching the session as an introduction rather than a test of flexibility. You’re learning how the class works, what the teacher’s instructions mean and what the experience feels like for you.

What to wear and bring

Wear clothes that let you move comfortably. Bring your yoga mat and clean grip socks, plus a towel if you’d like one. Grip socks are available to buy at the studio if you need them.

Give yourself time to find us and let the teacher know it’s your first visit. We’re at 11 The Strand, opposite Penshurst Station on the quiet side, with street parking nearby. The yoga room is upstairs; if you have access questions, get in touch before booking.

Can you do yoga alongside Pilates?

Yes. You can enjoy yoga on its own or try it alongside Pilates and Barre. The classes have different formats, so sampling more than one can help you find a routine you enjoy.

There’s no need to pack every class into your first week. Start with a time you can manage and give yourself space to get used to the studio. Use the live timetable to check which yoga sessions are available.
