New to Yoga - What to expect
- Best to arrive 10-15 minutes early. We sign in for drop-ins or you can purchase packages and use a scan card for quick sign in.
- Practice on an empty stomach. Do not eat 2-3 hours prior to yoga practice. Juice or fruit are OK if you need quick energy before class. Drink plenty of water prior to class, but avoid drinking during class.
- Dress appropriately. Wear comfortable, form-fitting workout clothing. Layers help to adjust for temperature changes during and after class. Big Tee-shirts flop over your head in Down Dog!
- Purchase a yoga mat. Having your own mat supports your commitment to your practice and ensures its cleanliness. Mats and can be rented for $1.
- Remove your shoes after entering the studio. Your shoes and valuables can be left in a cubby in the studio corner
- Turn off your cell phone. This enhances your experience and is a polite gesture to your fellow students. Also please leave cell phone outside the practice space
- Notify the teacher of injuries or medical conditions. This helps the teacher know how to assist you and give you modifications.
- And finally relax and have fun we were all beginners too! We all feel awkward in the beginning
