Additional Info

With conscious awareness, the practice of Yoga postures and techniques improve strength and flexibility, tone the organ systems, release toxins, strengthen the immune system, and quiet the nervous system; bringing balance, awareness and harmony.

Some things to be mindful about:

• Practice on an empty stomach.
• Avoid inversions (any posture where the pelvis is higher than the head) during menstruation.
• Go slow and pay attention to what you feel. Not observing during practice is like planting seeds without harvesting.
• Stay within your comfort zone when practicing postures.
• Eyes are open---soft and relaxed. Forgiving, again.
• Observe without judgement.
• Honor the experience by not practicing competition with others or with yourself.
• Questions are OK and questions are EXPECTED!

When we begin a new program of movement, we may experience sensations that are different from what we normally notice. Please take this opportunity to tune into your own body and if you feel pain, do less! It may take a few classes (and some home practice) before you are able to understand your limitations. In Yoga we work to the inside edge of comfort, gently expanding our edges as the body allows. When you complete a session we hope that you will feel relaxed, energized, balanced, light and a bit more open or spacious.

What to wear/bring

• Comfortable, loose fitting clothes (natural fibers breathe)
• Bare feet
• Your own natural scent is best
• A blanket/pillow
• A yoga mat (we do have community mats, blankets, and pillows for your use at no charge)

*Note: we clean mats once a month with a tea tree oil/lavender solution. We also have a bottle of this solution available if you would like to clean your mat before using it. If this is not acceptable, please bring your own mat.

We do sell yoga mats in many colors and styles at varying prices.
