How do I register for
classes?
Please print a registration
form and send it in with your payment for the class(es) your would like
to attend. If you would prefer to pay by VISA or MasterCard, send a
$30 deposit per class and pay the balance using your credit card the first
day of class. Or you can register online securely
using a credit card.
How can I make up missed classes?
You can make up a missed class
any time during the same series of classes. Some students do a make up
ahead of time when they know they will miss an upcoming class. Yoga students may make up in a NIA or Pilates class and vice
versa.
How does the 6 class drop in
card work?
You may purchase a card that
allows you to take 6 drop in classes. The card expires at the end of
the series in which it was purchased. Drop ins are subject to
availability.
What should I wear to class?
Please dress modestly for yoga
class wearing either shorts and a tee shirt, sweats or tights. Make
sure your clothing is comfortable and allows for easy movement. Please
avoid baggy clothing. Yoga is practiced barefoot.
Do I need to bring a yoga
mat?
All yoga props are provided for
students including mats, bolsters, blankets, blocks and straps. There
is no rental fee for use of the props.
My schedule varies from week
to week and I cannot commit to the same class every week. Can I still
sign up?
Sign up for the class you think
you will be able to make most often. When you can't make that class,
do a 'make up' class when it fits into your schedule. Or it might work
better to purchase a 6 class card.
What should I eat before
yoga class?
Yoga is best practiced on an
empty stomach. If your dietary needs require otherwise, eat lightly no
sooner than 2 hours before class.
What can I expect in a typical
yoga class.
In each class we practice
sitting quietly to develop mental calmness, various yoga asanas (postures)
to develop strength and flexibility as well as deep relaxation to release
stress. Each class will be different and may focus more on specific
areas of the body or on breathing in a certain way.
What are the benefits of
regular yoga practice?
Yoga has been practiced for thousands
of years because its benefits are numerous. Current research is
finding that yoga benefits a number of physical disorders.
But even if your are perfectly healthy yoga offers incredible benefits. Yoga
works out the kinks and tension that accumulates from active busy lives so
you will feel better physically. Yoga helps develop
mental focus and clarity so you will feel more centered. Most
importantly yoga gives you an overall sense of well being that
continues to deepen over time. |
