Practice silence in the yoga room
Please be silent when you enter the yoga room. We want to maintain a peaceful space honoring silence before, during and after practice. This will allow you to set your intention, practice mindfulness and integrate the depth of your practice. This quiet stillness is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other and ourselves. Many students arrive early and stay after for quiet mediation. Thank you for honoring this sacred space.
-
Try to stay in the yoga room for the entire class
With heated classes, it is common to occasionally feel light headed, nauseous and dizzy no matter your level of experience. Breathe, hydrate, rest and lay down if needed.

Practice with care and consideration
For yourself and others and ALWAYS modify in postures as you need. Respect your limits by listening to your body and allowing the breath to lead you deeper into the postures rather than your ambition and mind.
