Just remember that everyone there is going to pay more attention to the instructor than the other people in the class. Stay hydrated, you'd be surprised at how thirsty yoga makes you!
Maybe strappy sandals with yoga clothes could be a thing?

Cut-off tee shirt, yoga pants, and heels. Bubble gum and sunglasses. Pull your hair up on one side and show that ear completely, let it hang loose on the other side.
Have fun tonight! With your sense of humor I have no doubt you will be a big hit.

If a movement or position is painful do not continue doing it. Get a spot in FRONT of the class so that you can hear and see the instructor so that you do the movements or positions properly and the instructor can see you too. Have fun!

You are so going to fart! I think its a first Yoga rule! HE HE HE! But really, relax, have fun, go at your own pace, and I agree with CC go to the FRONT of the class so you can see and be seen!

Ya'll just want me in the front of the class so I come back with farting in front of the class stories.

Too true we do. You have such a lovely turn of phrase. You could try to fart in time with her speaking.

If you're in front everyone will know when you fart.

If your are told " How dare you fart in front of my wife" Say sorry "I did't realise there was a queue"

Geesh, I'm glad I didn't read this before I went to yoga! I never even thought about any of these problems....I didn't fart, I wonder if that means I'm not doing it right, lol

Of course, there is farting at Curves when I go, too. As long as it's never me, it's all good!

Momma always told me "more room out than in"! Think of how much weight you can lose by expelling all that pent up gas. Have fun and above all be comfortable. Don't go for any of the far out Yoga classes until you've seen what your body can handle. I'm only comfortable with Restorative Yoga, or Yoga Nidra, but am looking forward to the day that a regular yoga class will not be a painful endeavor.

Definitely listen to those telling you not to over do it. I've been doing Hatha yoga on and off for over 20 years. I still remember the very first time I did it, and I hurt so bad the day after, it was 8 months before I picked it up again. You want to feel the stretch, but make sure it also feels comfortable enough to relax into the stretch as well. You'll be surprised how much flexibility your muscles will provide over time...And, yes "farting" is a HUGE and wonderful part of it, LOL. In fact, yoga will become your "go-to" method for relieving painful gas. It will also keep you regular. Enjoy!

I was taught as a boy - Always fart when you get out of a lift (elevator)

Here in California we do yoga barefoot. Socks are fine, but you'll want the non-slip kind. As far as fear of passing gas goes, this is a good excuse to lay off the foods that your body rebels against (dairy, wheat, etc.).
Relax and enjoy your class!

Yoga has become an essential part of my week. It keeps me healthy, strong and centered. I really appreciate and feel deprived if I can't go to class. I hope you love it too!

Good luck! Hope you enjoy the class :)

Really concentrate on form and balance. You can do this. Yoga is kept me centered and strong for many years. I still like barefoot so you get all the feeling of your feet in the poses. I hope you love it!
