Q: Which class should I take?
A: Yoga is varied and with any luck, it can become a life-long practice. If you are brand new to it, we recommend a Beginner class. If you are athletic and have previous yoga experience, something more intermediate will benefit you. Hot Yoga is a class fit for all levels of experience where the heat is turned up to 95+ degrees. If you love the heat and are well-hydrated, this is a great class for beginners and intermediate students. If you have taken yoga for several years, feel free to try Power Yoga, our another advanced class. There are many paths to many goals. We hope we can help you along the way.
Q: Do I need my own yoga mat?
A: Most studios will allow you to use one of their mats as long as you make a small donation. I highly recommend considering purchasing your own mat though. It's great when you can own your own magic carpet. It is also wise to bring your own towel to lay on your mat and wipe up your sweat. Used mats can harbor millions of germs and bacteria. Here is a great inexpensive mat

Q: When should I arrive for class?
A: As early as you can. You should leave a 15-minute buffer before class time just in case you get stuck at that light that never seems to change or that traffic jam that appears out of nowhere. This way you can still make it to class on time. Some yoga studios lock the door after the class starts so make sure you arrive on time. Evening classes tend to fill up fast so consider an even longer buffer if your class is after 5pm.
Q: Can I do yoga if I'm pregnant or menstruating? Can I do yoga if I have an injury?
A: The best person to answer these questions is you. In yoga, you learn to respect others but more importantly YOURSELF. If you want to try the class and experiment with how you feel, please do so. Everyone's body is different. If you feel your injury will not allow you to stay in the room and try most of the poses with modifications, it may be best to take another week off. There are many different views on pregnancy or menstruation. The best person to ask is your physician.
Q: Can my child take yoga?
A: Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian at all times. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to attend Hot or Power Yoga classes.
Namaste...
