When contacting a yoga teacher, remember:

Any good yoga teacher will not mind being asked about qualifications, experience or insurance.

Ask about fees - they vary widely.  Some teachers run classes on a 'pay as you come' basis, but many require that you book for a series of lessons.  Sometimes, however, teachers will let you come to one lesson on a 'try out' basis before committing to a course.  Some classes are run through the Local Education Authority.

If you are a beginner, ask the teacher whether the class you would like to attend would be suitable for you.

If you have any medical conditions or are pregnant, do discuss this with any yoga teacher whose class you are going to attend, as well as your doctor.

Different teachers have different approaches to teaching yoga.  If you don't get on with one teacher's style, don't be put off - do try another.
