The Way of Yoga

way
  • Please arrive to class a few minutes early.
  • Refrain from eating 1 to 2 hours before practice.
  • Let your teacher know about any injury or health problem that will affect your yoga practice.
  • Please do not wear scents to class. Many people are sensitive.
  • Observe silence while in the yoga room.
  • Please do not bring cell phones or pagers in class.
  • If you leave early, please take Savasana to complete your practice and exit before the rest of the class takes Savasana, as not to disturb the other students
  • Although we provide yoga mats and clean them frequently - for hygienic reasons, it is best to have your own mat. Also, if you are perspiration-prone, please bring a large towel (towels are especially needed in Ashtanga and Vinyasa classes).
  • Respect the limits of your body, do not push, compare or compete. Yoga is a practice of letting go, being where you are, and self-acceptance

    Enjoy and have fun!
