At The Yoga Rescue in Jimbaran, south Bali, we welcome beginners in nearly all our classes We offer a calm, inclusive space where there’s no pressure and no judgment. Here’s everything you need to know before you step onto the mat for the first time.
What to Wear
Comfortable, stretchy clothing is perfect. You don’t need anything fancy. Just clothes you can move and breathe in. Avoid anything too loose, as it may get in the way during certain poses.
What to Bring
We provide yoga mats and props like blocks and straps in the studio, so you don’t have to bring anything unless you want to use your own. A small towel and a bottle of water are always helpful.
What Classes to Start With
While most of our sessions are open-level and beginner-friendly, some styles are gentler to start with. The following classes are recommended to start with:
If you’re new, these classes are a great way to learn the basics in a supportive environment. More dynamic classes like Vinyasa, Power Yoga, or Inside Flow can be fun, but might feel fast-paced when you are just starting to discover yoga.

The new moon is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the past, releasing what no longer serves you. Set intentions for the new month as the harmonizing sounds and vibrations from singing bowls help guide you into theta or alpha states. This process activates your parasympathetic system, bringing you into a restorative state. As you achieve this state, your body will facilitate the release of what no longer serves you....

Make sure to inform the teacher that you are a beginner and always respect your limits, every body is different. Our teachers always give options and adjustments so that you can follow along at your own pace. We focus on creating a calm, supportive space for everyone. No judgment, no pressure.
