Before You Begin Your Practice

Approximately 3 hours after a meal, 2 hours after a snack. If this is not possible, eat as light as possible, a piece of fruit or a few almonds, to boost your energy and curb your hunger. Drink water throughout the day, and after class.

You can bring your own or use one of our mats.  For your safety, standard thickness is 4-5mm, and no more than 6mm should be used.  We have block, straps, bolsters, blankets, and knee mats.  If you prefer, feel free to bring your own.

Wear looser fitted, comfortable clothes and have bare feet.  Natural fabrics are best to allow the body to breathe.

Scents:  Due to those with sensitivities and allergies,  please no perfume or scents.  This includes using scented detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets on your yoga clothing.  Be aware that these added fragrances in laundry products can be harmful to your health, especially in women.

We offer a sanctuary for those who want to disconnect from the everyday stressors of life.  Please turn off and remove all devices prior to entering the studio.

Please let us know, prior to registering or attending class, if you are pregnant, or have health concerns so we can get you into the appropriate class.  Some examples are, but not limited to, high blood pressure, ulcers, chronic pain, osteopathic conditions, or recovering from illness or injury.

Develop an awareness of your limits; work gently and consistently to extend them.  Never pull strenuously, bounce, strain or force yourself into or out of a pose.  If you experience fatigue or agitation, come out of the pose slowly and rest on your mat in child’s pose. 

Yoga changes your life, the benefits are wonderful, however mastering yoga takes time. Be patient, relax, and enjoy each breath…….
