You might! There is “good sore” and “bad sore” – if you feel sore in the following couple of days after a class this is most likely “good sore” and you know you’ve done some work towards improving your strength and flexibility, moving your body back into the full range of movement it is capable of.

It may seem impossible to imagine that coming back for more will help, but it is THE BEST way to relieve this kind of soreness. We usually recommend that if you can come back the very next day you will have much less muscle soreness than if you wait a few days.

If you feel sore immediately after a class, this is more likely to be “bad sore” and this could indicate that you have overdone it – you must talk to your teacher immediately after the class so that they can advise what to do. The way the Yoga Synergy style is constructed, if you are a beginner you really need to take the simpler versions of the postures and listen to the advice of the teacher so that you don’t injure yourself. We have designed the style so that there is a very low risk of injury – and if this does happen it is usually the result of an overzealous yoga practitioner who is not listening either to their own body or the teacher. Please also always advise your teacher of any existing injuries that you have when you come to class, so that they can advise you how to work with the injury and not exacerbate it through practicing yoga.
