Things to know before your first class

Dress comfortably. Wear clothes you can move and stretch in—nothing fancy required.

Bring a mat. If you don’t have one, you’re welcome to borrow one of ours (they are on the shelf in the studio) or you can buy a mat from our shop.

Arrive early. Give yourself plenty of time to check in, settle, and relax before class begins.

Sign in.  Sign in to class on the iPad at the front desk.

Keep it quiet. Please maintain a calm atmosphere in the studio, lobby, and hallways so everyone can enjoy a peaceful experience.

No Phones. Silence your cell phone and leave it outside the practice room—ringing or buzzing can disrupt your practice (and everyone else’s).

Talk to your teacher. Let your instructor know about any injuries or health concerns so we can support you safely.

Shoes off. The studio is a barefoot space. Socks are fine, but bare feet help with balance and stability.

Eat light. Just like with any exercise, avoid a heavy meal right before class.

Don't Worry

You don’t have to be flexible. Yoga meets you where you are. The right class level matters more than what anyone else is doing.

It’s not just for women. Men practice yoga too—and benefit just as much.

Yoga can help with pain. Let your instructor know about any injuries or health concerns. Gentle, consistent practice often supports healing and relief.

It’s not boring. Stillness can feel tough at first, but many students find meditation and final relaxation become the sweetest parts of class.

It’s normal to feel intimidated. Your first class might feel new and unfamiliar, but that feeling won’t last. We’ll do everything we can to make you feel welcome.

Yoga helps create time. As your practice grows, you may notice more clarity, energy, and spaciousness in your day.
