2- What kind of Yoga is practiced at Yoga High? We teach Hatha Vinyasa Yoga. It is the flowing style of Yoga in which breath and movement are linked. back to top
3- I'm brand new to Yoga, what do I do? The Beginner Workshop and the Level I classes are designed just for you. The Beginner Workshop is a 3-hour hands-on class with two teachers guiding you through the essentials of beginning your Yoga practice. You will have time and space to feel comfortable and ask lots of questions. Once you are ready to take a class, you can practice basic asanas (poses) and uncomplicated sequences in our Level I classes. *See Prices for special Beginner packages. back to top
4- What should I wear and what should I bring? Wear clothes that will allow you to move comfortably. Shorts, tank tops, Yoga pants--basic workout clothes. Don't worry about footwear since Yoga is practiced barefoot. If you have a mat, bring it. Otherwise you can rent or buy one when you get here. If you tend to perspire a lot, we rent hand towels for $1. back to top
5- What's the deal with eating before class? If possible, do not eat at least 2 hours before class. Yoga should be practiced on an empty stomach to avoid discomfort. back to top
6- How early should I arrive for class? We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes before classes and workshops to allow yourself to get settled and comfortable. We apologize but we cannot allow entry into the classroom 10 minutes after class begins. back to top
7- What is proper Yoga studio etiquette? Remove your shoes when entering the studio. We ask that you turn your cell phones off upon arriving (Vibrate is not off), and use a low speaking voice inside the studio. When opening your mat, also be mindful of the loud noise it can make. Please refrain from wearing perfumes or fragrant oils. If you arrive late to the studio, do not enter the Yoga room until after you hear the Oms or the teacher has given you the OK to enter. back to top
8. I am recovering from an injury or surgery. Can I still practice Yoga? If you are post-surgery, we advise that you consult your doctor before coming to Yoga and that you share that information with your teacher before class begins. We strongly encourage you to inform your teacher of any injuries, recent surgeries or body/movement limitations that may affect your practice in any way. back to top
