You do not have to pre-register for a class, just sign in when you get here. Come 15 minutes early to get registered and tour the facilities. Payments for classes are to be made before class begins so that you do not need to worry about having cash on hand while you are in your post-Yoga mind frame. This time is for you to relax and enjoy.

Arrive on time for class. In cases where you cannot arrive on time, please be respectful of the others in the class and enter quietly or after the beginning meditation ends.

Do not throw out your mat onto the floor. Gently and with respect, roll out your yoga mat. This is the tool you have chosen to support you through your practice, so respect it as such.

Please take off your shoes before entering your yoga space. It is a sign of respect for your space and teacher to remove your shoes, and a tradition held in not just yoga but several cultures. Plus, it keeps the space beautiful and cleaner longer, especially in harsh weather.

Wear lightweight, layered, comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement. Women typically wear yoga pants or shorts and a sports bra, T-shirt or tank top. Men may also find comfort in spandex shorts or other athletic shorts with support. Tops and shirts that can handle sweat are helpful. Yoga classes aren't really for making a fashion statement, so there is no need to go buy a new wardrobe for your yoga practice. Just find something that you are comfortable and capable of moving in. Yoga is practiced in bare feet. All classes consisting of a warm-up, active practice, and a relaxation cool-down period. Give it a try – take that first step toward improved health and well-being!

Your classes are designed to relax yet energize your body. If possible, take a few minutes before the start time to relax and create a connection with your breath, quiet your internal dialog, and prepare your body for a physical workout. Light stretches and movements are also helpful to begin to open tight muscles and joints (as you become more aware of your body, you will know what you need to give to your body before class starts). Your classes will also have a short meditation and relaxation at the very end. This is a time for you to feel dissolve into your true essence, let your energy vibrate within and without and be completely at ease. Therefore, I also recommend some quiet time immediately following your class to fully absorb the benefits, mentally and physically, of Yoga. If you have questions about anything that happened during class or perhaps in your home practice, the teacher is available before class begins or after class to chat with you, do a demonstration or adjustment or help in what way we can.

All Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach. If you are practicing early in the morning, it is a good idea to have a light snack for energy, but nothing too heavy. For midday and evening classes, please give yourself ample digestion time after eating, at least 1 hour. The more time you have between food and a practice, the happier you will be all the way around.
