Where to find it
No prior experience needed in Prague
Prague has a small set of classes that say plainly that no prior experience is needed. Most of them are breathwork: slow, guided sessions built around the breath, with a short grounding practice at the start so you can arrive before anything else happens. Many are described as gentle or focused on release, and several are marked as a first class ever. If you have never stepped into a practice before, this is a good place to begin.

What beginners will find
Most of the classes on this page are breathwork. They use guided breathing to help you settle, notice what you are holding and let some of it go. The sessions tend to move slowly and do not ask you to know anything in advance. A smaller share are yoga, and a few are built for expecting parents.
The words the classes use are a good guide to what to expect. Gentle, release, focus and calm appear again and again, and most are open to first-timers or to all levels. That makes it easier to choose a class that matches where you are today.
Where to start
Prague Yoga Collective Letná, in Josefov, has the most classes on this page. Its breathwork session Breathe Into Release lasts about an hour and opens with a grounding practice, then moves into guided breathing. Its pre-natal class is for all expecting parents, with or without previous yoga experience, and focuses on strengthening body and mind through pregnancy and birth.
Josefov is the neighborhood where most of these classes take place, so it is a practical place to start if you are new to the city.
Fitting a class into your week
Most classes run in the evening, and more than half of the coming weeks' classes fall on evenings or weekends. Mornings hold about a third of the schedule. Sunday and Tuesday have the most classes, and the latest starts are around 8:30pm while the earliest begin at 11am.
At a typical length of about an hour, a class fits easily into a working day. Choose a time that suits your week, and arrive a few minutes early to settle in before it begins.
No prior experience needed in Prague: questions and answers
Do I need any experience before my first class in Prague?
Yes. This page is built around classes that say no prior experience is needed, and most of the classes in the coming weeks are marked as a first class ever or for all levels. Start with a gentle breathwork session and let the facilitator guide you through each step.
What kinds of classes are open to beginners here?
Breathwork leads the schedule in Prague, and nearly all of these classes are built around it. Many are also gentle or focused on release, so they suit someone who has never practiced before. A smaller share are yoga classes, and a few are prenatal.
Which studio should a newcomer start with?
Prague Yoga Collective Letná is the studio that stands out on this page, with the most classes listed. It is in Josefov, and the neighborhood has the most classes of any on this page. Its breathwork class Breathe Into Release runs for 60 minutes and begins with a short grounding practice to help you arrive.
When do most people practice here?

Classes usually run for about an hour, which is also the typical length for the ones listed here. Sessions are short enough to fit into an evening, and they give you a clear start and finish.
Which days have the most classes?
