Do's and Don'ts
Do's and Don'ts
DO bring your own yoga mat to class if you have one.
Rental mats are $2 and come with a sanitary wipe if you do not own your own mat. We strongly recommend you purchase your own mat, one specifically intended for yoga practice. We offer several options of high-quality mats for purchase in the studio.
DO let your teacher know if you have an injury or other condition that might limit your participation before class.
Once informed, your teacher will be able to advise you on which poses to avoid and to provide you with the guidance you need to avoid re-injury during the class.
DO plan ahead so that you can arrive to class a little early and stay until the class ends.
All of our classes are set to stat and end on time to be respectful of our students & guests time. So, to get the most out of each class make sure you’re there for the whole thing. Arriving a little early also gives you an opportunity to get the most out of your practice by doing a few stretches or by just sitting quietly. If you must leave early, please do so as quietly as possible!
DO wear comfortable clothing to class.
Choose something that doesn’t restrict your movement but that isn’t so loose-fitting that it will get in your way. Yoga is practiced barefoot. Wearing socks is not recommended, but you may leave your socks on if you wish. Changing in the restroom or the Reiki room is available
DON'T be late to class.
Especially when you’re starting out, arriving late to class puts you at a disadvantage. Not only do you lose out by missing an important part of the practice, you may also fail to receive important instructions.
DON'T eat a big meal before class.
Give your body a chance to digest before doing yoga. A light meal or snack is fine, but try to allow at least an hour or 2 between eating and practicing.
DON'T hesitate to ask questions.
Your teacher is here to help you and welcomes any questions you might have at any time.
