What should students Know
While yoga is a serious practice and takes great effort, we believe in making the practice fun and enjoyable. It’s our goal to meet each student where they are, to create a welcoming environment for every student at every level, and to have each student leave feeling more connected with themselves, even a little closer to bliss. Yoga is constantly evolving. It is both a science and an art, and even a means of transformation. While many students come for the transformation of body–to be more flexible, to gain greater strength, to have more ease—yoga is also a transformation of the mind and the spirit.
Instructors generally offer both verbal and physical adjustments. We are sensitive to individual issues of touch. Please let your instructor know if you are not comfortable with hands on adjustments.
Classes are offered in a variety of levels and styles. Please come to a class that is appropriate for your level of experience, so that you can derive the most benefit and healthy challenge from the class without overdoing it.
If you are not sure if a particular level is appropriate for you, please get in touch. We’d love to help you find the right class.
GUIDELINES FOR PRACTICE
Most importantly, Keep your eyes on your own practice
The practice is richer when it happens from the inside out. It’s not about comparing yourself with the person next to you. Be present with your own experience.
Be kind and loving to yourself
Rest when you need to. Honor where you are in your practice. Use the energy of those around to inspire, not diminish, you. Remember: you are perfect just as you are now, and yoga is meant to enhance that understanding and let that perfection shine. Have fun!
Please do not wear perfume or any strong scent
Wear comfortable clothing
Practice on a relatively empty stomach
We do not have loaner mats so please bring your own mat . You are welcome to use our many props: chairs, blocks, straps, blankets and bolsters.
