Etiquette

Please arrive on time for class. Even a little early would be good so that you can settle in and get ready for your practice.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows full range of motion, and since the studio is warm, be sure not to overdress.

Often beginners may feel an array of different feelings, from tight hips, to cluttered mind, nausea, dizziness, and a flood of unaddressed emotions, all which are a part of the cleansing and detoxification process of yoga. These do subside as you continue to practice yoga.

There are mats available at the studio. Some people prefer to use their own private mat.

You will be more comfortable if you refrain from eating 2-3 hours before class. It is best for the body not to be digesting while you are practicing, since it can make certain posture uncomfortable. If you need to try to eat something light before coming to class.

Please turn your cell phones off in the studio.

Use your quiet voices in the hallways, when there is a class in process.

Please let your teacher know if you are pregnant, have any injuries, or if you are on any strong medications.

Be sure that the class you have chosen to attend is appropriate for your level of practice. If you are unsure what class is best for you  please ask one of the teachers.

Feel free to ask questions before and after class.

Remember to listen to your body. It is important to move mindfully in your practice. Try to be content with where your body is at. Be patient with your practice take modifications when needed. If you are not sure of what modification to use please ask your teacher.

Please try to leave before the last resting posture (savasanna) if you have to leave before the class is finished, otherwise it can be disruptive for the other people in the class.
