What time should I get to class?
Arrive for class on time, allowing enough time to sign in and set up your practice space. Doors open 10-15 minutes before the class begins. Classes may be going on before your scheduled class begins, so please do not enter the studio early.If this is your first time attending class, please seek out your teacher. Once you arrive, fill out a registration form, sign in and pay $16 drop-in fee (class cards are available for an extra savings and student class cards are reduced even further).
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing—less is better. Nothing too baggy.Please do not wear any perfume, cologne, after shave, etc. Just like natural body odors, these artificial odors will be intensified by the heat of the practice. Some students who come to the studio are very sensitive to chemicals.
What should I eat before class?
Arrive on an empty stomach. Wait 3 hours after a large meal, 1.5 hours after a light snack. Food in your stomach makes class harder. Be sure to drink lots of water the day of your class.Are there mats available to borrow?
Yes, mats are available for free to our new students, but we encourage you to purchase a mat within the first few weeks of your practice. We do not retail. However, marts are readily available for purchase online. We prefer Prana and Manduka.Other props—blocks, straps and blankets—are available to borrow. Please puts all props you've borrowed back neatly in ther proper place after class.
How often should I practice?
Ideally, everyday!Realistically, we have found that 3-4 practice periods a week is sufficient to build a solid practice.
