Guidelines for Yoga Practice
- Remove your shoes at the door as we practice in our bare feet
- Turn off your cell phone or leave it in the car
- Pay your teacher on time without having to be reminded
- Bring your own mat; it’s more hygienic. We do have mats to borrow if you forget yours
- Refrain from wearing perfume, cologne or strong essential oils
- Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking before class
- Ask questions about anything that is not clear to you
- If you have any health issues, please notify your teacher before class. Not every pose is for everyone
- Let go of the competitive mind-set. The purpose of yoga is to calm the mind and to discover your body and breath. Where it takes you is up to you!
- Enter the studio quietly respecting those that have already begun their practice
- If you need to leave early, please advise your teacher before class and leave before Shivasana (end relaxation)
- Come to class on time. If you do arrive a few minutes late, take a breath and quietly take your place
- It is okay to come out of a pose before the teacher says so. Your body will respond beautifully when you show it kindness, acceptance and love. This is your yoga practice
- Be responsible for listening to your body. Listen to its limits and its openings
- Respect yourself and others
- Let your yoga practice bring you to the present moment
