CLASS PREPARATIONS
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes before. You may need to fill out a quick registration form and we’d like enough time to great you and show you around before class starts! Wear what you feel good sweating in. Breathable fabric is preferred. Avoid cotton if possible. No shoes are needed in practice room.
- Come to class hydrated. Making sure you have water throughout your day before you practice and remember to drink plenty of water after your practice to stay hydrated. Water can be purchased in studio or bring a bottle to use. Coconut water or other electrolyte drinks can also be helpful before, during or after your practice.
- Come to class on an empty stomach. Allowing a couple hours to pass after your last meal before your practice is usually needed. Some people need more or less time so you need to see what works best for you.
- Bring a yoga mat, long towel and water. Each student is required to have all three while practicing. Feel free to bring your own or rent/purchase from the studio.
- Remain in studio the entire class. Feel free to take a break whenever you feel necessary by laying down or sitting quietly on your mat. The desire for breaks fades as you focus on your breath and become adjusted to your environment. If for any reason you must leave early please let the instructor know before class so they can assist you with the least disruption as possible.
- Yoga is a life long practice. Yoga is meant for all ages and all types of people. As long as you are focused on your breath and doing the best you can you will receive all the benefits of each pose even if you are not as flexible or perfectly balanced as someone next to you.
- Practice regularly. A consistent yoga practice of 4-5 times a week will allow you to receive maximum benefits. Build extra strength with 1-2 hot pilates classes/week. You will still receive all the amazing benefits with a reduced amount of time, it just may take a little longer.
