Following these helpful hints will allow everyone to have an enjoyable yogic experience.

• Please make an effort to arrive on time.  If you arrive during opening seated meditation please wait in the lobby until movement begins.

• If you need to leave class early, please notify the teacher, allow yourself five minutes for relaxation and leave before final relaxation begins so as not to disturb the class.

• Shoes are never worn in the asana room. Please leave your belongings in the cubbies provided. You may bring any valuables into the asana room.

• Please turn off your cell phone or pager to avoid distractions.

• Try not to eat a meal too close to your practice, we recommend 2 – 3 hours prior to class, busy intestines distract you from your practice.

• Dress comfortably in clothing that will move with you. Practice in bare feet.

• For the comfort of those around you, please avoid wearing heavy perfumes.

• If you smoke, refrain for 1 hour before class.

• Notify the teacher of any serious health conditions such as neck, back or joint injuries, heart disease, high blood pressure, recent surgery and/or pregnancy.  If you experience pain during class notify the teacher immediately.

• Avoid inverted poses during menstruation.  Your teacher will offer modifications.

• Sticky mats are available for your use but for hygienic reasons we recommend bringing your own.

• To make the most of your yoga practice, bring an open mind and stay in the present moment.  The rewards will carry over into your daily life creating balance and harmony.
