All new students are encouraged to arrive
10 minutes early to class so that your teacher will have the time to ask
you
a few standard questions prior to your first class.
Please no eating or drinking in the studio. Only water is allowed on the premises. We have bottled water for sale, and also a water dispenser, but feel free to bring your own.
Turn off all cell phones, pagers or PDA's.
All local students - your first class is $5. If you join us as a member, all your classes will continue to be $5. If not, you will have to pay the drop-in of $13 for your classes after the first one. See Rates for further information.
All visitors - your classes are $15 per class, unless you will be in town long enough to buy a membership.
Mats and props are available for use in the studio and are free. There is also a small shop in the studio where you could purchase your own mat and props if you wish.
All yoga students:
Preparation
for Class.
- Refrain from eating at least 1 ½ hours before class. Food takes about this long to pass to the lower intestines. If you just had a meal before class, the food will be coming up and creating unpleasant and disturbing sensations. You will also feel heavy and often unable to do the twists and the bends.
-
Wear
comfortable clothes. However
sweats are not a good choice, as the teacher will need to see your
alignment. Also during
yoga the body builds a lot of heat, so you may find yourself very hot
in sweats. Best are
shorts and footless tights.
-
Arrive
on time. It is best to
arrive 5 min. early as this will give you an opportunity to get
situated without disturbing the rest of the students.
-
Refrain
from looking at what other students are doing in the class. Remember
we are all very different and our bodies have different abilities.
Simply observe your own practice and be understanding of your
limitations. Yoga is a
process not a destination.
-
If
you want, bring a small blanket for the relaxation portion of the
class. During relaxation
the body temperature drops and you may feel a little cool.
- Maintain a positive frame of mind.
