New to Yoga?

What should I wear to yoga?
Wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely: gym shorts, spandex or sweat pants, and a t-shirt, tank top, sweatshirt or long sleeve T. No shoes or socks are required. Please keep in mind that you will be working your way toward putting your body in some interesting positions that, should you be wearing baggy or revealing clothing, your neighbor may get a little more than they asked for… ;-)

What should I bring?
All you need to bring is workout gear and an open mind. Yoga mats ($2) and towels ($1) are available for rent, though you are welcome to bring your own.

What should I expect?
You will move, breathe, sweat, and quiver. You will be challenged. You will see postures that you cannot do—though we should provide steps for you to take that put you in that posture before you even know it. Your first few yoga classes may be confusing, perhaps even overwhelming at times, and the learning curve is very steep. With every class you take, things become a bit more familiar and less thought is required. When the movements become familiar enough that we don’t have to think, we can connect every movement with a conscious breath and the moving mediation can truly begin.

What should I do?
Lay your mat at the center of the room (so you can hear the teacher, and watch others if you get a little lost). Grab two blocks, a blanket, and a strap, and be sure to mention any injury to the teacher before the class begins.

Is there any studio etiquette that I should be aware of?
