- Please, arrive 10-15 minutes before class for registration.
- Bring a large towel, yoga mat, and bottle of water. The studio will have some mats and towels to borrow.
- Come well hydrated and with an empty stomach – limit eating to one hour prior to class and then only a light snack of nuts or fruit.
- Wear light workout clothing: shorts, similar to bathing suit shorts for men and a light T shirt. Women wear fitted shorts and workout tops.
- Please do not wear any perfumes or heavy scents.
- You may want to bring dry clothes to change into after class.
- Tell your instructor about injuries, special needs or concerns. You can skip postures that don’t feel right.
- Create an intention for your practice. This will help you focus. You may find it helpful to dedicate your practice to a person or cause. Your intention might be to become more aware, understanding, loving, compassionate, healthier, stronger or more skillful.
- Be comfortable in class, laughter is encouraged.
- Don’t push your body. Avoid comparing your practice to another’s. Do what you can without straining or injuring yourself. You will go farther faster by taking a loving attitude toward yourself and work from where you are rather than from where you think you should be.
- After the practice please put away any props and clean any water or sweat from the floor around you.
- Take time for reflection after the class. Take note of the calmness and the decreased stress you may feel even into the next day.
