Studio Etiquette ** Come on an empty stomach or eat lightly 2-3 hours prior to your practice. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Advice us of any new or old injuries that may affect your practice. Give yourself permission to skip or modify postures if you are tired or injured. Be respectful of others and observe proper hygiene. Refrain from using perfume or heavy scents. Bare feet only please in the studio space. If you have any conditions of the feet (fungus, planters warts etc.) please have them treated immediately as many are contagious. Be sure to have them dressed or covered. Menstruation- honor the first 3 days with rest and a very gentle practice. Refrain from Power Yoga or Ashtanga classes. Please let us know BEFORE the class if you are pregnant or have serious health concerns such as joint injury, recent surgery, epilepsy, diabetes, or any cardiovascular diseases (especially high blood pressure). Please be silent in the yoga room. Refrain from loud volume conversation outside of class as others may be in meditation. Please turn off cell phones and pagers while in the studio. Keep peace in the space. Please bring a small hand towel. Wash your yoga mat after each practice. Mats are provided free of charge but we encourage you to bring your own yoga mat for hygienic reasons. Try not to compare yourself to others during your practice. Admire and allow others to inspire. If you are new student please read the class descriptions before coming to your first class. Be sure that the class you have chosen to attend is appropriate for your level of practice. It is un-safe and un-yogic to practice at a level beyond your capability. Dress to accommodate body temperature changes. The body gets very warm during asana practice. (Light non-constricting workout gear, Cotton or lycra capri pants, shorts, t-shirt or tank top). As the body cools be sure to have a sweater, long sleeve shirt or sweats to stay warm. |
