<human>:  I want to take a yoga class but don't know where to start. What classes and equipment do I need?
<bot>: You will need to find a yoga studio near you that offers classes to beginners. Depending on the type of yoga you're interested in you may need certain types of equipment, such as a mat, blocks, straps, or blankets. You should also ask the studio what type of classes they offer, as some may be targeted specifically to beginners or those with no experience. Additionally, if you're looking for a more personalized yoga experience, you could consider hiring a private yoga instructor.
