Entering your first yoga class can be a daunting experience. The dimmed lights, the lycra, limbs are bending in inconceivable ways. Here's what's probably running through your head – and the minds of everyone else in the room!

1.    "This mat smells weird."

2.    "I really need to clip my toenails."

3.    "Is she really going to put her mat that close to mine?"

4.    "Ok time to clear my mind....what do I need to pick up from the grocery store?"

5.    "Downward dog. Is everyone looking at my stomach? Note to self: wear a tighter shirt next time."

6.    "What is Chataranga Dudasana? Oh no...."

7.    "Seriously, why are my hands so sweaty?"

8.    "Warrior pose isn't so bad. Oh wait....where do I put my arm now?"

9.    "Don't fall over. Don't fall over. Don't fall over."

10. "What's savasana? Aaaahhhhh, I could get used to this."
