What To Bring

Yoga mat, large towel, large bottle of water, & an open heart. If you don’t have a mat, don’t worry: we have mats & towels for rent or purchase.

What To Eat

Try to avoid eating 2 hours before class. If you must eat, have something light like a granola bar or fruit. This is because having a lot of food in your stomach could make you feel nauseous in the heat.

Arrive Early

Please arrive at LEAST 10 minutes before your 1st class to register & get comfortable with your surroundings. New students under 18 need parental permission & should be accompanied by an adult for their 1st class.

Set Up in the Back

No personal belongings allowed in the room. All you need is your yoga mat, towel, water, & weights (for Torched & HIIT). Set up your mat in the back of the yoga room. Make sure you can see yourself in the mirror.

Expect to Sweat

The room is heated & sweating is an intentional component of all of our classes. The heat is to warm your muscles, prevent injuries & allow for a deeper workout. Sweating helps flush toxins from the body.

Stay in the Room

Please plan to stay in the room for the entire class.

Water

Make sure you come to class already hydrated. In Bikram Yoga classes, please wait to drink until the instructor says “party time.” This is after the 3 warm-up poses. After that, drink as needed between postures. In all other classes, drink water when you please.

Don’t Push It

You will feel challenged during class, everyone does. Always work to your edge, but listen to your body. Never be afraid to sit down. It’s normal, especially in the beginning, to feel dizzy, nauseous or light-headed. It's temporary & as your body acclimates & detoxes, these sensations will disappear.

No Judgment

During class, no one will look at you or judge you. Other people’s focus is on themselves; they are working too hard to even notice you. The teacher will guide you & instruct you, always with compassion & respect. No need to be self-conscious.

Ask Questions

Feel free to approach the teachers with any questions or concerns before & after class. If you have any pre-existing injuries or modifications for any other reasons, please speak to the teacher before class.

Don’t Leave Too Soon

Try to stay at least a few minutes after class to cool down & relax. Be sure to drink plenty of water after class & throughout the day. Please take at least 3 classes before deciding if our studio is right for you. Your 3rd class will be dramatically different from your first & will allow a clearer assessment.
