New Students Tips
• Please arrive about 15-20 minutes prior to your first class. This gives you a chance to meet your teacher and other students. You’ll also be able to see the layout of the land and take your time to find a comfortable spot and relax in the room before you practice. Rushing into class is no fun.
• Please leave your shoes just inside the front door and turn your cell phones OFF. Only water is allowed inside the yoga room, no glass please. Refrain from wearing perfume and talking in the yoga room. This is your chance to begin your class as relaxed as possible. We love being a cell-phone free zone!
• EVERY class is a beginners class. This means that the teaching method in every single class that we offer is always for the beginning student. There is no need to have prior yoga experience to start practicing Hot Yoga. There are generally beginners in almost every single class, so there is no need for you to feel nervous or out of place. All the students around you have gone through their first class too, and they are always happy to give you advice and help. As you progress in your yoga practice, you all simply do so in the same room!
• First time students are welcome in EVERY CLASS!
• Come at it with an open mind. You never know what will happen. Have fun, smile, breathe and your life could change.
• HYDRATE very well throughout the day and bring a bottle of water or purchase one when you arrive.
• Avoid eating for 2 hours prior to your class. If you’re feeling low in energy try a glass of juice or a banana. During class you will be much more comfortable if your body is not having to focus on the task of digesting.
• Wear cool and comfortable clothing…Women should wear shorts/leggings sport tops or leotards. Men should wear shorts or swimming trunks.
• Yoga Mats & the towel needed to cover them are available for purchase or rent, or you are welcome to bring your own.
