Bro use this app called downward dog. The instructions are clear, and it is a premium app they made free until July.

You will be able to choose the depth of instructions, difficulty and your instructor voice. Also each session is randomised.

I started last year to balance between weightlifting and flexibility.

I’d recommend google

Or try to find a tribe on the website

I'm doing this one every morning at the moment while I can't go to class. Try it out, it's only 15 mins. Pay attention to her form. Once you get it down then try her 1 hour class.

Not a big fan of Adriene (biggest yoga channel on youtube) personally. She talks too much.

'Yoga' (the poses or asanas) by itself is not meditation as you can meditate without doing yoga although there are some types of yoga that is more conducive to meditation, for example Hatha yoga.

If your main goal is to meditate it might be best to download a meditation app like headspace or calm. I highly recommend both.

Check out David Swenson's stuff for ashtanga yoga. It's on youtube. His 15-minute routine is a good intro - basically a series of sun salutations followed by stretches.

I wouldn't call it meditation, though. It's calisthenics.

Your best bet would be to express to someone you know that does yoga and ask to attend a class with them. You're not going to know the poses so it's fine to just look around and see what other people are doing. Don't be afraid to find the instructor and introduced yourself and let them know it's your first time. All sorts of people do yoga and it's a pretty inclusive group. I'm definitely a beginner and my advice is to just go do it.

Look up headspace on the app store. Get started with a couple minutes every morning.
