What should I wear
to a class?
...Always wear
comfortable clothing that will allow you to stretch, bend, and
move without restricting the breath. Always bring water to
class.
Should I eat or not
eat before a class?
...Please do not
eat a heavy meal just before class. You will be very
uncomfortable. A light meal 1hr before class should not
present problems. I suggest juice, a smoothie or a small protein
drink about 30min. before class. Always bring water to
class.
I am not very
flexible--can I still do yoga?
...Yes! If
you can breathe and move at the same time, you can do yoga.
Choose a Gentle Yoga class or any other class labeled Beginner
or Introduction. These classes are designed with you in
mind. They focus on slower more gentle stretching
movements. You will still realize all the benefits of a much
more advanced class without the risk of injury.
