    care for small children.  Please
    refrain from bringing children to
    wait for you while you participate
    in classes.

  • Eat lightly prior to attending a
    class.  A digesting stomach may
    make you feel uncomfortable.
    Drink plenty of water before and
    after your class.  Feel free to take
    water into the yoga room provided
    it is in a bottle.

  • Please treat the Center as a
    sacred space and remove shoes
    prior to entering the yoga room.  
    Please leave belongings in the
    storage space provided outside
    of the yoga room.

  • In the yoga space, refrain from
    talking.  Quiet conversation is
    allowed in the lobby and the back
    hall.

  • Please turn off all cell phones
    and beepers.

  • Please arrive at least 10 minutes

    door will be locked 5  minutes
    after the class begins and late
    arrivals will be admitted at
    discretion of the Center and
    instructor.

  • If you need to leave your class
    early, please do so before final
    relaxation begins.

  • If you are pregnant or have an
    injury, please notify the instructor.

  • Use your instructor as a guide.  
    Listen and ask questions.  Just
    keep breathing!  Do not feel
    forced to perform asanas
    (postures) above your body’s
    current ability.  Above all listen to
    the wisdom of your body!
