Making the Most of Your Yoga Experience

  • Please arrive ten minutes early to sign in, get your space, and prepare for class.
  • It is best not to eat two hours before practice.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and bare feet.
  • Do your best to pay close attention to the teacher’s instructions in order to prevent injury and enjoy the poses.
  • Classes are for all levels of ability. Be compassionate with yourself and be willing to honor where you are at any given time.
  • Yoga is non-competitive. Avoid comparing yourself to others or even to how you do one day compared to another. Just by making an attempt you are doing yoga.
  • A little discomfort is normal sometimes, but if you ever feel pain come out of the pose immediately and alert the teacher.
  • You are welcome to come to class with an injury. Modifications of the poses can be beneficial. Do not come to class if you are ill and infectious.
  • Turn off all cell phones, pagers, and alarm watches before class.
  • Please inform the teacher of any medical conditions or injuries and seek the advice of a physician or chiropractor.
  • Know that the poses you resist are often the ones you need most.
  • You are practicing in a safe, nurturing environment. Please let the teacher know after class if you are bothered by anything in any way.
  • If an instruction is not clear to you or you would like more information, please ask questions. If you have a question, chances are other members of the class will benefit from the answer as well.
  • Be open to new experience.
  • Please refrain from heavy perfume or cologne in class. Some of your fellow students may be sensitive or allergic.
  • Let the instructor know when it is your monthly cycle. Some poses need to be modified at this time.

With Love and Respect, I welcome you.
