THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Welcome — We’re So Glad You’re Here

You are about to begin a beautiful and healthy journey.

Yoga offers incredible rewards — better sleep, reduced stress, increased flexibility, strength, improved focus, and an overall sense of well-being. Most importantly, it’s about enjoying your practice and having fun.

Be proud of yourself for showing up and choosing something that supports your mind, body, and soul.

You are here — and that matters.

New Student FAQs

I’m nervous. Is that normal?

Completely. Trying something new can feel intimidating — but every single person in the room was once a beginner. Our teachers are here to support you and answer any questions you may have.

How do I get started?

• Arrive 15–20 minutes early for your first class

• Bring a yoga mat, towel, and water (rentals available)

• Come well hydrated

• Avoid heavy meals 2–3 hours before class

Our motto: Be kind to yourself.

What if I’ve never done yoga?

Perfect. Yoga isn’t about being flexible — it’s about showing up.

You practice in the body you have today. This is your time, your mat, your journey. Our instructors will guide you safely and offer modifications when needed.

Is yoga just for women?

Absolutely not. Yoga is for everybody and every body.

Men experience tremendous benefits including improved mobility, stress reduction, better recovery, and heart health.

All are welcome here.

What should I wear?

Wear breathable, comfortable clothing you can move in.

For heated classes, expect to sweat. Please wear secure, opaque clothing appropriate for movement. (Sheer garments are not permitted under studio lighting.)

Do you provide props?

Yes. We offer blocks, straps, and blankets for classes. All props are sanitized after each use.

I’m not flexible or I’m out of shape. Can I still come?

Yes. Those are actually great reasons to start.

Yoga builds flexibility, strength, and balance over time. You do not need to be “in shape” to begin.

Where do I park?

Parking is available in the lot and along the side of the building on Nicholas Parkway.

Should I eat before class?

Avoid heavy meals before class and stay hydrated throughout the day.

For safety, please do not bring glass containers into the studio.

Why is the room heated?

Our Bikram and Hot Flow classes are practiced in a heated room.

Heat:

• Warms muscles for safer stretching

• Increases flexibility

• Improves circulation

• Builds endurance

• Supports detox through sweat

If the heat feels intense, rest when needed. 

Is it normal to feel dizzy in heated classes?

In your first few classes, you may feel lightheaded as your body adapts. If so:

• Slow down

• Rest

• Focus on steady nasal breathing

Hydration is key. Headaches are often a sign of dehydration.

Your body will acclimate with consistency.

How often should I practice?

Yoga is cumulative — the more consistent you are, the better you feel.

We recommend:

• 3–5 times per week for regular practitioners

• A more consistent schedule in your first month to feel results quickly

Even once a week is a beautiful start.

What if I have health concerns or injuries?

Always follow your doctor’s guidance.

Inform your instructor about injuries before class so we can support you safely.

Yoga can help strengthen and support the body over time — but listening to your body is essential.
