I've never practiced yoga... Which class is best for beginners?

The best classes for beginners are Hatha, Restorative and Gentle Yoga. If you are suffering from injury, have physical limitations, or cannot get up and down from the floor easily, the best option for you is a private lesson with one of our certified and experienced instructors. If you are somewhat physically active and have no substantial limitations, any “Vinyasa” class is also perfect for yoga beginners (you must be comfortable getting up and down from the floor, kneeling, weight bearing on the wrists, and lying on the stomach).

I'm not very flexible... Can I practice yoga?

Yes! There is no measure of being “good” or “bad” at practicing yoga. You do what feels best for you and move the way your body needs it. The instructor will always have an alternative if you cannot physically practice certain postures. That being said, most classes on the schedule require you to be able to sit, stand, kneel, and recline comfortably on your yoga mat. We have props available to use as well.

I don't have a yoga mat, do you have any at the studio to borrow?

Yes, we have a few gently used mats for your free use. It’s best to bring your own mat if you have one.

How big are classes?

The main studio can hold up to 14 students in class. The average class size is 6-10 people. If you are the only one to show up for a drop-in class – expect a private lesson! We have NO minimum for drop-in classes to run.

What should I wear?

We suggest wearing light, breathable clothing that you are comfortable moving in. Power Yoga gets heated and sweaty, Hatha yoga may get cool and relaxing – dress appropriately!
