What you need to know before class:
Sign up: Our class sizes are very small. It is recommended that you sign up for each week's class in advance, by using our online scheduling system
calling, or emailing the office to ensure your place. If you plan to attend every week, you may sign up as far in advance as you would like. Classes are filled on a first-come, first -serve basis. Please note that while it is, of course, beneficial, is not required to attend class every week.
Mats: We do have yoga mats available in the studio for your use that are sanitized by the teacher after each class. You may also bring your own mat.
Clothes: Special clothes and accessories are unnecessary for yoga. We do recommend that the clothes you wear to class be comfortable and relatively form-fitting, as loose pants and shirts can get in the way and potentially cause accidents (tripping). We also recommend that pants are not too long. The studio is kept warm so ensure that you will not get overheated. Types of clothes that generally work well are clothes specifically designed for yoga, as well as t-shirts and tank tops (that aren't too baggy), shorts, and sweatpants that aren't too long or baggy.
Water: There is filtered water available at the studio. We recommend bringing your own bottle or cup for drinking to conserve paper cups, but there are paper cups available if you forget.
Eating before class: We recommend that yoginis eat 2 or more hours before class, to prevent cramping and tummy aches. After class, feel free to eat as soon as you're hungry.
Yoga and religious beliefs: It is important to note that yoga is not a religion, and although it is often associated with Buddhism or Hinduism, it does not reflect any religious beliefs. Yoga is a sort of guide to living your life in the best way possible. It compliments any religion, lifestyle, or spirituality.
Yoga is not always easy: Many poses you will learn in class may be challenging, and you might not be able to obtain "full posture" of the pose right away. This is perfectly normal! Please support your own efforts and encourage yourself to keep at it. Yoga teaches self-discipline, self trust, honesty, confidence, and so much more.
