First Time? We got you!
Welcome!
We know the feeling walking into a new studio for the first time & we want you to feel at home right from the start. Here is a rundown of what to bring, what to expect & whats next!
What to bring/wear: If you have a yoga mat bring it! If not we have some for rent ($5) or purchase (prices vary).
Next we suggest brining a hand towel and water. If you are signing up for any class other than yin… you will most likey leave sweaty.. That leads us with what to wear: activewear! Whatever you are comfortable with wearing that allows you to move your body. We do not wear socks or shoes when we are on our mat.
We have gender neutral bathrooms located in the yoga room and both studios have a space you can refill your water-bottle.
Inside the yoga rooms we provide Yoga Blocks & Straps that are available for you to use at any time. We ask you spray any props you borrow with our cleaner and place back on the shelf to dry.
You will also find each studio has a small basket located somewhere inside the room (typically by the props wall) and inside you will find cork hamsas. If you would like to receive hands on assists meaning the teacher will assists you with touch you grab one and place it next to your mat. This signals to the teacher that it is okay to assists you with touch. If you do not have a cork hamsa on your mat the teacher will NOT give you hands on assists. If you happen to forget…either step off your mat to grab one or please signal to the teacher to grab one for you.
We are passionate about providing yoga while allowing you to “Be you own damn guru”. This means you know you the best, so using your decrement to know when and what you need. A clearing breath, sip of water, towel off, or childs pose.
