FAQ’s
I’ve never done yoga before, what class should I start with?
We offer a Beginners specific class and also Basic Yoga. Both are great for learning the foundations of yoga, proper alignment, modifications, how to use props, etc.
What do I wear?
Comfortable athletic clothing that does not restrict your movement.
What should I bring to class?
An open mind, water bottle to stay hydrated, and a yoga mat if you have one. We have mats available for you to use while trying out classes, but encourage you to invest in your own mat if you decide to practice regularly.
Do I have to be flexible and strong to do yoga?
It is a misunderstanding that you have to be flexible or strong to do yoga. We work on many levels including the body, the breath, the mind and the spirit in every class. You will find yourself becoming more flexible and strong as you continue to practice yoga. Consistency is key in seeing improvements on and off the mat.
Studio Etiquette
Arrive on time.
Try to arrive 5-10 minutes early to get settled on your mat. Sit quietly and focus on your breath, or do a few gentle stretches to warm up.
Remove your shoes.
By removing your shoes, you’re not only helping with studio cleanliness, but you’re respecting a space that’s revered and cherished by others.
Tell your teacher about any injuries.
Many teachers like to give gentle assists in class, like guiding you deeper into a pose or shifting your position to correct misalignment. If you’re sore, injured or just don’t feel like being touched, grab a red consent chip to let the teacher know.
Grab your consent chip.
How are you feeling about assists today? You can let your teacher know by grabbing a consent chip from the prop area.. green means go, red means no!
Please silence all devices and leave in cubby area.
Electronic devices in the class area are very distracting. We kindly ask that you leave them in your cubby with your other personal belongings.
Can’t stay for Savasana? Leave before.
We understand schedules are tight and you may need to slip out early. Please do so before savasana as to not disturb your fellow yogis. Position yourself near the door and leave as quietly as you can.
Clean up.
Bolsters, blankets, blocks, straps—yoga is a prop-happy practice. If you’re borrowing the studio’s props, be sure to return them to their rightful place upon leaving. If you’re borrowing one of the studio’s mats, be sure to leave next to the basket for cleaning. Leaving your space as clean as you found it is respectful to the studio and students in later classes.
