Student information Please be on time! All classes begin and end promptly. It’s best to arrive early. Getting to class about 5-10 minutes early can help you settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the class. While you're waiting you can practice a pose, do a few stretches, or just sit or lie quietly, breathe, and get centered. Be prepared to practice barefoot with loose/stretchy comfortable clothes for all classes. Mats and props are available.  Bring a towel or your own mat if you sweat a lot, and arrive clean and free of scents that might distract or offend others.  Owning your own mat is strongly recommended. Don’t eat for two hours before class. If you practice yoga on a full stomach, you might experience cramps, nausea, especially in twists, deep forward bends, and inversions. Digesting food also takes energy that can make you lethargic. Let your teacher know about injuries or conditions that might affect your practice. If you are injured or tired, skip poses you can't or shouldn't do, or try a modified version. No pagers or cell phones in class. Leave socializing and business outside the studio, so the peace of the practice is not disturbed. Remember, breathe and smile...  Levels Basics/Beginner - Suitable for students new to yoga or those working on refinement.
