How to Say ‘It's my first yoga class.’ in French

C'est mon premier cours de yoga.

s eh mohn pruh-mee-AY koor duh yoh-GAH

[s eh mohn pruh-mee-AY koor duh yoh-GAH]

💬 Usage Tip: French uses de to link the two nouns, so it's cours de yoga, literally "class of yoga". The same pattern gives cours de danse "dance class".

🇫🇷 In France: Telling the teacher this as you arrive is normal and welcome. They'll usually offer easier versions of the poses or keep an eye on you.
