WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga has a long history and is believed to have started more than 3000 years ago in India! The word “yoga” is Sanskrit and it means to unite the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is more than just a physical exercise as it also trains your mind and helps you relax. The main goal of practicing yoga is to train your mind, body, and connect with your spirituality.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You will need to bring your own yoga mat, towel and water. We also have mats and towels available for you to rent or purchase if you do not have these items. Please bring water to the studio so you can stay hydrated! We have a water dispenser for you to fill up your bottles as well.
HOW EARLY SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR CLASS?
For your first class, please arrive to the studio approximately 15-20 minutes before the class starts. This way, you can fill out a short registration form and have time to get ready for class. The extra time before class is a great opportunity to sit, relax, breathe, and warm-up. Latecomers will not be permitted.
WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR TO CLASS?
We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing that allows the body to breathe and move comfortably. These can be any form of stretchy apparel, leggings, yoga pants, or shorts. We also carry yoga apparels that you can purchase at the studio. In the studio, you will practice with your barefoot as that allows your soles to grip the mat and have better awareness of your body.

DO I NEED TO EAT ANYTHING BEFORE CLASS?
Do not eat a heavy meal 2-3 hours before class and drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
DO I NEED TO PRE-REGISTER TO RESERVE MY PLACE?
No, all the classes that are listed on the schedule are considered drop-ins. We recommend that you arrive approximately 15-20 minutes prior to class in order to ensure a spot and give yourself enough time to relax before you begin your practice.
HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK SHOULD I COME TO CLASS?
The number of times you practice a week depends on many factors such as other physical activities you participate in, your state of health, and the amount of time you have. We recommend you set up a regular schedule for your yoga and fitness practice. By doing this, you will be able to see a better progression in your mind and body and achieve greater benefits.
