Yoga Etiquette

Before you arrive:

• Wear comfortable, layered clothing and bring a small towel.
• Bring a yoga or non-slip exercise mat.
• Refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne to class.
• Do not to eat a heavy meal within 1-2 hours of class.
• Yoga blocks and straps are recommended, but optional.

When you arrive:

• Arrive 10 minutes early.
• Notify instructor of all special conditions and injuries (acute and/or chronic).
• Please turn off or mute cell phones and/or pagers.

During class:

• Listen to your body, challenge when able, but rest when needed.
• Please honor your body's perception of pain. Pain is a gift; it tells us that some problem has developed. There are always modifications in yoga to circumvent this.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during, and after class.
• Do not enter or leave the studio during final relaxation. If you need to leave early, please depart before relaxation so as not to disturb other students in class.

After class:

• Please feel free to bring questions, comments or concerns to your instructor.
• Namast�
