FAQs

What is yoga?

Yoga is an ancient and refined system for bettering your overall health – both physical and mental health. By connecting breath with movement, the mind and body are involved in the practice which can create a deep effect on the entire psychophysical structure.

What if I am not flexible?

Do not worry. Yoga is not for flexible people, it is for all people, of all body types, all ages and all levels. Our bodies were meant to move, so with consistency, it will not be long before you notice how well your body is responding to your yoga practice.

How often do I need to do yoga to benefit?

Everyone is different, so it depends on your lifestyle and goals. As with any activity or goal that you hope to make strides with- shoot for consistency, the more often, the greater the benefits.

Is yoga a work-out?

Yes. Yoga can provide you with both cardiovascular and strength building benefits in addition to stress relief and countless other mind-body benefits. Yoga can be very light exercise or it can be vigorous and you can work up quite a sweat! Please read our class descriptions to choose a class.

What do I need to wear/bring to my yoga session?

Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing that is not too loose (because it might get in the way during the postures). You can bring water, a towel and a yoga mat if you have one. Avoid eating a couple of hours before your session, as yoga is best done on a relatively empty stomach. No shoes or socks necessary. Water is optional, but highly recommended for hot yoga classes.

Do I need to register or call ahead?

No. All of our classes are on-going and you don't have to pre-register. Just arrive a few minutes early. Just give yourself enough time to park, sign-in and get comfortable on your mat.
