Few Tips
These guidelines are meant to help enhance your yoga
experience and keep the center a sacred space for all. Namaste.
If you are a first time student, please arrive 15 minutes
before your first class to fill out a registration form and get acquainted
with the studio.
Arrive 10-15 minutes before class to sign in. If you
do arrive late, take a breath and quietly enter the studio.
Tell your teacher about injuries or limitations that might affect
your practice.
Turn off cell phones/pagers before entering the lobby.
Please keep all phone conversations outside.
Bring a yoga mat, a towel and water. We do have clean
mats available, however, it is ultimately more hygienic
to use your own. We also sell yoga mats in our boutique. Bottled waters
are also available and are free.
Yoga props such a blocks and straps will be provided.
We recommend that you do not eat 2-3 hours before practice. If
you have a special condition, eat easily digestable foods, such as fruit
or yogurt one hour before class. Hydrate before and after class.
If you hydrate all day, you should not need much water during class.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows the body to move.
Baggy clothes or sweat pants are not recommended. You will sweat - tank
tops and shorts or yoga pants are the best. Our classes are taught in a
heated room to further help cleanse the body and warm the muscles.
Remove your shoes. There will be a place to store your
shoes and other items when you enter.
Avoid leaving class early. If you must, do so quietly
before savasana or final resting pose without disturbing others.
Avoid strong perfumes and scented lotions.
Let go of the competitive mind-set. Yoga is not just
a workout or stretch class. While this practice will reshape your body
and promote greater health and well-being, yoga is ultimately a tool for
spiritual evolution to open our hearts and broaden our minds.
Start where you are. Respect and listen to your body. Be
willing to accept where you are, how you are today. It is perfect!
