One thing about yoga is that you have to no your limits. There is nothing in yoga saying that you have to do all of the movements perfectly the first time. Always just go to the point where it just becomes uncomfortable, and do not press it. Yoga is more about the quiet and the form, and less about how flexible you are. Flexibility comes from practicing yoga, you don't do yoga because you are flexible

I was laid up for almost a week after playing hockey for the first time for the season. It was also the first time on skates for two years, and even though we were only playing shinny, my competitive spirit made me go full out.

I have used this before to try to find a class that I am comfortable with and most are very open to it.
