come to class well hydrated
It is always a best practice to arrive well hydrated for your yoga class. You will feel better throughout class and may recover faster after those particularly challenging days.
my body is stiff! i am out of shape! can i still come to class?
Although it might at first sight appear that someone who is very flexible can
perform yoga postures better than a stiff person, this is a misconception. Yoga aims to develop one’s alignment and awareness through breathing and subtle adjustments made to the body – the skin, muscles, tendons and joints etc – and mind while in each yoga posture. The aim is to create vitality and stability, and to practice strength and flexibility within in each posture, not to perform a routine or choreography.Therefore, doing the poses ‘perfectly’ is not emphasized in our classes. learning to fully embody your own practice & staying curious as to what this practice has to offer each new day, is. our teachers guide toward Quality of movement (integration & sustainability) over quantity of movement.
That being said, gaining flexibility, strength, & stability does make achieving postures more easeful. everyone starts somewhere; come in and try it out!

you want a more customized/personal learning experience
we suggest a private yoga session with one of our teachers. we can help point you in the right direction based on your needs and goals. private sessions are great for the brand new learner to go over the basics, or the seasoned practitioner who wants more individual assessment than a group setting allows. if you are curious, shoot us an email and we can go from there!
