How do I get started?

All class times are for beginners. Just show up for any class. First-time students should arrive 15 minutes early. Be prepared to work hard and sweat. Women should wear leotards or shorts and top. Men should wear shorts or swim trunks. Eat light the day of class and avoid eating three hours prior to class time. Water, a large towel and mat are needed for class. These are available for rent or sale in the studio.

What if I’m not flexible?

Yoga is not about how flexible you are, it is about stretching your body and spine. The most important aspect of yoga is that you try and take your body to it’s physical limits.

Why is the room heated?

The room is intentionally heated to warm your muscles, prevent injuries and allow for a deeper workout. Sweating helps flush toxins from the body.

Is there etiquette for yoga?

Absolutely. We practice yoga etiquette to show our respect for ourselves, our peers and our teachers.

• Arrive early to class.  Classes start and end on time.  Please be on your mat with everything you need two minutes prior to the teacher entering the room.
• Stay until the end of class.  It is important for your health and the energy of the group.
• Honor the silence of the room, especially during savasana.  Please no talking, moaning or loud noises in the studio.
• Be a good role model.  Practice your stillness and discipline between the poses.  No advanced postures in the front row.  Notice if you are in front of a beginner.  They will follow you.
• Leave no trace.  Please deposit trash, recycling, mats and towels in their proper place.  Bring home your clothes, water bottles and equipment.  Please apply baby powder at home.
• Please no perfume, cologne or heavily-scented lotions in class.  Did you know…one in five people have negative reactions to scented products?
• Follow along with the teacher.  Try your best in each posture in the Bikram Series.  If you think you can’t do a posture, set it up.  Please reserve additional postures or postures from other disciplines until after final savasana.
• We are happy to help you modify any challenging postures.  We do not, however, use props in the Bikram Method.
• Come to class sober.  Please do not attend class after using any recreational drugs or alcohol.
