Got Questions? Here is What You Need To Know
What are the best classes for beginners?
While you’re welcome to take any class, most beginners find the Beginner Series the most helpful. Other classes that are a good starting point to exploring yoga for the first time are Yoga Basics, Restorative Yoga, Gentle Yoga & Meditation, Align and Flow & Restore classes. Once you feel ready, graduate to more challenging Vinyasa classes.
We recommend that beginners practice about 2-3 times to per week.
My first class was hard! What should I do?
If it were easy, everyone would do it! Give yourself at least 10 classes to get comfortable.
What temperature is the studio?
In general, the room is gently heated between 70 and 75 degrees to help increase flexibility and circulation. Some classes like Yin and Restorative tend to be heated to room temperature.
Is there etiquette I should know about?
Leave Your Worries and Shoes at the Door: Please remove your shoes when entering the practice space.
Silence Your Cell Phones: You deserve time to focus on you without distraction, so please silence your cell phone!
Refrain from Strong Scents, Perfume, or Cologne: Out of respect for your fellow classmates, we ask that you refrain from using perfumes or cologne while in the studio space.
Be On Time: Doors open 15 minutes before the start of class and lock promptly at the start of class. We ask that after class you leave promptly so our staff can clean and prepare properly for the next class to arrive. We do not allow students in the studio when instructors are not present.
Be Respectful of Other Students Experience. Please refrain from distracting behavior or loud talking or noises inside the studio space. We also ask that you are quiet in the yoga room so students can meditate and relax before class begins.
We do not tolerate harassment of any kind in our studios.
No weapons of any kind are allowed in the studio.
What should I bring?
A water bottle and towel will ensure you’re hydrated and comfortable during class.
A yoga mat is essential for each class. If you forget yours or don’t yet own one, you can use one of ours or purchase one from us.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, light exercise clothes that allow you to move freely and sweat in!
What if I get tired?
During any class, feel free to rest. Whether you are a new yoga student or you’ve been practicing for a long time, resting is a sign of strength and respect for your body.
Can I bring my children?
We love kids, but unless they are practicing yoga, they can not be in the studio or left unattended in the lobby.
Kids 16 and older are welcome to practice alongside a guardian.
