As is known by all practitioners of yoga Narrabeen in NSW Australia and anywhere else around the world, it is for everybody. Still, if some classes are anything to go by, it appears to attract some individuals a lot more than others. This article offers the foremost types of yogis that you will surely meet in class and how you can get them onto your side.

1. The smug yogi

You know this type: turns up to the class wearing Sweaty Betty from head to toe, drops down to do splits as easily as if he or she is just picking a stray chicken nugget up. This type will surely out-plank you any time of the day and any day of the week. Their catchphrase is telling you that a pose that makes you break a sweat is ‘so restful, you know’. You deal with this type by demanding for tips regarding their ‘headstand’. Clearly, they know something that you don’t.

2. The best friends

These are inseparable off or on the mat. The idea of coming to class alone, to them, is as scary as double pigeon after it has taken a very long run. Whoever arrives class first saves the best mat space for the second half and they break into fits of loud laughter that you are convinced is about you, every time. These have no catchphrase just giggles. You should deal with them by saying hello says, a foremost yoga instructor in Narrabeen NSW. Join up with them if, you just cannot beat them, right?

3. Teacher’s pet

This one is always in situ right at the front of the yoga class ten minutes before lessons begin. The teacher’s pet would rather miss his first son’s wedding than his every week yoga fix. These are the ones that you will hear from first when the teacher is running late: they always have the teacher on speed dial or vice versa. These always say things like ‘I remember you saying ….. When we met up…’ Deal with this type by asking whether they know the times for classes through the holiday period. They will be truly chuffed that you have truly acknowledged their insider status.

4. The man

Okay. Yoga is meant for everybody, but that does not prevent the token male of the class from feeling and looking decidedly awkward. The catchphrase for those in this category is ‘yoga truly helps me to enhance my weights’ game’. You should handle them by bringing a male pal along. Help a real brother out.

5. The ‘bad’ yogi

These unashamedly wobble in tree pose and are frequently caught snoring during savasana. This type of yogi is not afraid of bending yoga rules. Find them in truly jazzy yoga pants. Their catchphrase is ‘should I be feeling ‘X’ in my ‘X’ (a part of their body). Handle them by asking them to come for a drink after lessons, they are keepers.

These are the major types of yogis you may come across and how you can get them to be on your side according to a foremost teacher of yoga Narrabeen in NSW Australia. Understanding how to get them on your side make class fun for you.
