All you need is a yoga mat. Water and a towel are also recommended. For hot and heated classes - bring a towel to cover your mat, a hand towel to wipe sweat, and plenty of water. If you don’t have a yoga mat, you can rent one at the studio for $2. We also have yoga mats and yoga towels for sale ranging in price from $20 - $96. We have a water dispenser for you to fill your water bottle and all necessary props will be provided. Wear comfortable clothes which allow you to move and stretch freely - think stretchy, breathable fabrics.

Arrive early.  Give yourself plenty of time to find parking, check in, find a space, unroll your mat, and collect your props. This also gives you an opportunity to get into the right mind-set. New students should arrive at least 15 minutes before to fill out necessary paperwork and get a tour of our studio. The doors get locked right at the start of class. Latecomers run the risk of being locked out. 

Please come to class with clean feet and refrain from wearing heavy perfumes or lotions, noisy jewelry, or anything else that may create an uncomfortable practice for other students. Likewise, please let us know if you are allergic to, or uncomfortable with any scents as we may use aroma therapy oils during or at the end of the class. 

If needed, please use the restroom before the class begins. 

Let your teacher know if you have any injuries, recent surgeries or any other medical issues we should be aware of. 

Leave your shoes outside the yoga room. There are cultural, practical, and spiritual reasons for this rule. Furthermore, yoga is practiced on the floor, and tracking in dirt makes the yoga rooms unclean. Finally, the concept of grounding — literally and figuratively is very important in yoga — it’s simply easier to ground yourself if your feet are making direct contact with the floor. 

Leave your cellphone outside the room. This is so you can fully disconnect, and others won’t be disturbed. 

There are cubbies at the entrance, where you can leave keys, phones, purses, shoes, and any other personal belongings. The front door will be locked during class unless a staff member is at the front desk.

Our studio values the creation of a vibrant community and encourages interaction among our members. While we appreciate the traditional approach of maintaining silence in yoga rooms before the start of class, we understand the importance of connection and communication. Feel free to engage with fellow yoga enthusiasts and build friendships using and indoor voice before class. However, we kindly request that longer conversations and socializing take place in the lobby, allowing those in the yoga rooms to focus on relaxation or meditation if they choose. Our aim is to strike a balance between fostering a friendly atmosphere and respecting individual preferences for quiet and introspection.

Plan to stay for the whole class. If you must leave early, let the teacher know, and do it before savasana, the period of final relaxation at the end of class. Again, this is to not disturb your classmates during a key part of class. Whether coming or going, try not to step on anyone’s mat. 

During your session your yoga teacher will assist you in alignment with verbal instructions and may also assist you with physical adjustments. Please let your teacher know if you are not comfortable with a physical assist and your personal space will be respected. Let the teacher know if you feel any pain during a pose and they will provide you with a modification more suited to your body. 

There are times when two classes are scheduled concurrently. If so, please refrain from walking through the other class during their practice. The teachers do their best to end classes on time to accommodate students. 

Some classes will use props (blocks, straps, blankets, or bolsters) to assist you in experiencing a safer and healthier yoga practice. If you prefer, we offer props for sale, or you may bring your own personal props to class.

Clean up after class by putting props away where they belong and folding the blankets properly before returning them to the shelves. 

Your practice should leave you feeling revitalized and mentally calm. If you have not exercised in a while, you may experience some muscle soreness for a day or two after class. If you experience any discomfort for more than two days, it may be an indication that you pushed yourself too hard. Talk with your teacher to see if you need to modify your poses or if you need a different class level. 

Feel free to contact us and leave any suggestions or comments about your experience.  We are always striving to improve our classes and our studio for our students.
