Getting the most from your yoga experience:

Wear clothes that allow you to move easily in all directions -  and bring an extra layer to stay warm in the relaxation at the end.

Avoid heavy food and stimulating drinks -  for 2 to 3 hours before practicing yoga.  Ideally, yoga is practiced on an empty stomach; however if your body prefers, a light snack is fine.

Bring a yoga mat -  also, a blanket and a cushion are excellent ideas (possibly for alignment and maybe to assist deep relaxation.)

Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early and plan to complete the whole practice.

Keep the yoga space -  free from fragrances and cell phones.  Also, new yoga mats often give off a toxic smell!  They just need to be aired for a while and perhaps even washed over with a gentle soap and water.

Please mention new health developments / concerns

Pregnancy -  there is important information regarding yoga and pregnancy right from the beginning of your 1st trimester.

Heed the body’s messages -  listen to your body's intelligence if it signals to you: there are many ways to adjust and not loose the powerful benefits.  If any yoga posture hurts or aggravates then yoga is not happening.

As your life changes, so too does your practice -

Different days or months might bring different abilities: there are many variables that can be taken into account.

Your yoga at home?

During a series of classes you receive sufficient guidance to be able to do mini yoga practices at home if you wish. 

If you are able to set aside the time and wish to practice yoga regularly at home, please ask about a yoga practice that is developed specifically for you.

This practice is designed to take into account your goals, your available time for home practice, your current health, your current circumstances and so on.
