Remove shoes at the door, we practice in our bare feet. Store shoes inside the studio.
Turn your cell phone off before coming into the studio.
Be early to class. Entering class constantly late is very disruptive and disrespectful to others.
Bring your own mat, as it’s more hygienic.
Practice on an empty stomach (unless specific conditions prevent this). Eat 2-3 hours prior to practice.
If you have health issues (illness, injury or medical condition) please notify your instructor before class. Not every pose is appropriate for everyone.
Ask questions about anything that is not clear to you. You may ask during class when appropriate, or after class.
Refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or strong essential oils.
Let go of the competitive mind-set. Yoga is noncompetitive. It is a spiritual with the purpose is to calm the mind, open the heart, and stimulate our spiritual evolution.
Be kind and loving to yourself by accepting where you are. It is okay to come out of a pose before the teacher says to. The body will respond beautifully when you show it kindness, acceptance, and love.
Stay for the entire class. If you need to leave early make the time for a mini-savasava before leaving the class. It is the most important part.
Limit the chatter before and after class. Yoga is a time to go inward.
Finally, finish by saying “Namaste: I honor the place in you, which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace.
