First time? No problem!

Here are a few things you might like to know…

-           Dress in something comfortable and forgiving.  Jeans and socks can make poses more challenging because they cause sliding and resistance.

-           You may want water and a hand towel in case you work up a sweat.

-          A yoga class is often a series of poses or postures that an instructor will lead you in and out of.  If you ever have questions or something doesn’t feel right let the teacher know.

-          Let your yoga instructor know of any injuries or physical limitations before class.

-          The final pose in a yoga class is a resting pose called savasana (sha  vah sah na).  In this pose students will rest on their backs with their eyes closed in order to absorb all the poses done before it.  This resting pose is usually 5-10 minutes.

-          After a teacher says their closing at the end of class they will often say “Namaste” pronounced nah-mah-stay.  If you wish you acknowledge the unity of the practice you may repeat it back.

Nothing too scary right?  Hope to see you there!
