Expectations

Be prepared for class. Class will generally start on-time, so please come early enough to set up. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, strap, blanket, and blocks. We have these supplies as well.

Suggestions

Allow enough time for your body to digest. Practicing yoga on a full stomach can be very uncomfortable, can hinder your ability to complete the poses, can create excess gases running through your system when completing twists, and can be counterproductive to practicing yoga as digestion requires energy. Generally, allowing three hours after a large meal and one hour after a light meal will be sufficient. If you have dietary needs related to blood sugar levels, please be mindful and take care of yourself.

Precautions and medical concerns

Please discuss with your medical provider any concerns you may have about practicing yoga if you have any medical or physical ailments that may not be suitable for attendance. You are ultimately responsible for your health and well-being. Some individuals with chronic medical concerns may be unable to attend or may have to significantly modify poses when attending classes. Please make sure we are aware of any medical concerns you may have and instructions from your medical doctor in writing should you have any life threatening illnesses.
