What should I wear?

Students should wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not bind or restrict. Gym shorts and a T-shirt are suitable for men and women. Practice is barefoot. Please avoid wearing strong fragrances to class as these are distracting and can provoke allergic reaction in others.

What else should I know?

Have your meal either 4 hours before class or wait to eat until after class.  It is best to come to class on an empty stomach.  Please avoid taking caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco prior to class. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off or remain in your car. No gum, please.

If possible, try not to schedule any appointments following class as one should not leave class feeling rushed.

Students should refrain from attending class if there is fever, body ache, infection or tooth abscess, recent abdominal or spinal surgery, recent neck or back injury, or upon physician advice.   Women who are menstruating should attend class unless feelings of discomfort are present.  Women who are pregnant* can attend class if they are still in the first trimester. *(Ideally, one should start a Yoga practice before conception. Pregnant women should begin their Yoga practice BEFORE the second trimester!)

Students should advise the instructor of any health condition. Awareness of each student's strengths and limitations allows the instructor to provide vital individual attention.
