What should I bring to class?
Bring water, a towel, and a yoga sticky mat if you have one. You can borrow a mat at the studio, or ideally, everyone should – for hygienic reasons – own his or her own mat.

How often should I practice yoga?
Any practice is great–even if it’s 5 minutes when you wake up in the morning! Attending classes with a qualified teacher will support you in building a solid foundation, broadening your experience, and taking your practice to the next level. An optimal practice to affect changes requires consistency and discipline. Practicing a minimum of two to three times a week is recommended.

I have an injury. Can I still practice?
Depending on the severity of the injury, you can certainly still practice. Please let the instructor know at the beginning of class, so she can help you practice safely.

I am really fit. Will yoga challenge me?
No matter what condition you are in, yoga is a great way to enhance your current fitness level. Remember that yoga isn’t a competition or a race, it’s a lifelong practice that builds strength, balance and flexibility–it applies to any sport or activity.

I’m about as flexible as a cinder block. Can I still try yoga?
Absolutely! Most classes use props to help our bodies become familiar with the shapes of the asana. With consistent practice, your flexibility and strength will increase while the need for props will diminish.

What should I expect?
The practice of yoga involves turning inward and being aware of your breath and how it feels to be in your body as you move into the different asana (postures). If you feel the asana and maintain smooth breathing, you’re doing it correctly. There is benefit in attending class by your own effort, no matter how strong or flexible you are or aren’t. It’s important to note that yoga is not meant to be a painful practice. Go slowly at first, practicing regularly, breathing deeply, paying attention to your body and building on the gradual changes you observe as you progress. Yoga is a lifelong practice, no need to rush it.

Can I talk during class and ask questions?
Questions are always welcome. If you’d rather not ask in during class, feel free to ask before or afterward. Please keep banter quiet to maintain a peaceful atmosphere.
