Are there any guidelines to follow as a beginner to yoga or pilates?

Arrive a few minutes before class begins. Give yourself time for a few stretches, a moment of quietness, or time to relax from the day. If you arrive just as class is beginning, please enter quietly and find a place that does not disturb others.

Come with an empty stomach. Yoga is best practiced three hours after a meal. Do drink plenty of water after class.

Tell your teacher about any injuries or special health conditions before class. This will help the teacher make suggestions to make your practice safer and more enjoyable.

What should I bring to class?

Wear something light and comfortable such as sport tops, t-shirts, shorts and loose fitting pants. Yoga practice is done barefoot, please remove your shoes upon entering the studio.
Mats, blocks, straps and blankets are provided at the studio, however it is recommended that you eventually obtain your own personal mat.

Is there any yoga ettiquite?

Yoga embraces the qualities of compassion, awareness and respect. With this in mind please keep the following in mind:

Please turn mobile phones off while inside the yoga studio. If you are on call or in an emergency situation, please inform the teacher.
Remove your shoes at the door to keep the floors clean for others.
Refrain from wearing fragrances as some people are allergic to strong odors.
Self-awareness leads to attention to detail and to the respect for the space and people around you.
Thank you for creating a sacred space for your practice and for respecting the Spirit of Yoga.
