Arrive 10-20 minutes early
Give yourself 10 minutes before class to check in, grab a mat, and get settled. Let the front desk know it's your first time — we'll point you to a good spot and make sure you feel oriented.
The room will be warm
Our classes are held in a gently heated room using infrared heat. You'll likely sweat a little — that's normal and healthy. Drink water beforehand and don't worry about being 'ready' for the heat. Your body adapts quickly. Check out why heat is good for your health and practice.
Follow along, do your best
The teacher will guide you through every pose. If something doesn't feel right, modifications will always be offered. There is no failing in yoga — there's only showing up and trying.
End in stillness (Savasana)
Every class ends in Savasana — a few minutes of quiet rest. Many students say this is their favorite part. You've earned it.
Yoga mat
We have mats available to rent or borrow. Bring your own if you have one.
Water bottle
Stay hydrated. You'll sweat — especially in our heated classes.
Comfortable clothes
Fitted or stretchy clothing works best. Avoid anything too loose.
Small towel
Helpful for wiping down during or after class. We have some on hand.
· Please remove your shoes upon entering the studio
· Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before class starts
· Practice Satya (purity of speech) by being mindful and respectful in the space
· Turn off your cell phone and leave it outside the classroom, and avoid loud socializing in the studio
· No perfume or cologne, please
· We recommend not eating within 2 hours before class
· Please inform the teacher of any injuries or conditions before class so appropriate modifications can be offered
· Classes are at least 1 hour unless otherwise noted, and we encourage you to stay for the full class
· If you need to leave early, please let the teacher know before class and exit quietly after a short rest
Calm but energized
The combination of movement and breathwork activates your parasympathetic nervous system. You'll feel unusually calm without being tired.
Lighter in your body
Tension you've been holding for weeks can start to release in a single class. Your shoulders, hips, and lower back may feel noticeably different.
A little sore
You may notice soreness in muscles you didn't know you had — particularly in your hips, inner thighs, and core. This fades quickly.
Wanting to come back
Most first-time students leave saying: 'That was harder than I expected, but I feel amazing.' That feeling is why people build a yoga practice.
Not being flexible enough — flexibility is what you develop here, not what you bring
Not knowing the pose names — the teacher always demonstrates, not just calls them out
Being the only beginner — classes are mixed levels and modifications are offered freely
Doing something wrong — there is no wrong if you're listening to your body and trying
The heat being too much — infrared heat is gentle and most people adapt within a class or two
Looking silly — everyone is focused on their own practice, not watching you
If you’re new to yoga, we recommend starting with Foundation Flow, our beginner-friendly class, where you’ll learn the foundations of yoga, including breath, alignment, and basic poses.
If the schedule doesn’t quite fit your availability, Yoga Flow is a great next option. Our teachers guide you step-by-step through each class, making it accessible for newer students while still offering a meaningful practice for experienced yogis.

Wear something comfortable and flexible that allows you to move freely. Choose clothing that stays in place when you bend and move, but doesn’t feel restrictive. Most students wear leggings, yoga pants, and a comfortable fitted top. Yoga is practiced barefoot.
We recommend eating a light meal 1–2 hours before class and staying well hydrated before and after your practice. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early so you have time to get settled, and let your teacher know it’s your first class. We’re happy to help you feel comfortable and answer any questions you may have!
You’ll need a yoga mat and a towel (optional). Mats are available to rent at the studio for $3. We also recommend bringing a water bottle (water is available at the studio). Since many of our classes use infrared heat, staying hydrated before and after class helps support your practice and overall experience.
Yes! Most of our classes are practiced in an infrared-heated room. Yoga Flow is heated to 85°F and Vinyasa is heated to 90-95°F. The warmth helps create a deeper, more mindful practice by allowing muscles to warm up, increasing flexibility, and encouraging you to move with greater ease.
Foundation Flow, our beginner-friendly class, is the exception. This class does not use infrared heat and is typically around 80°F, creating a more comfortable environment for students who are new to yoga or prefer a gentler introduction.
Like anything in life, consistency is key. Practicing 2–3 times per week can help you build strength, flexibility, and awareness over time, while a more frequent practice can deepen your connection to yoga and create lasting changes in your body and mind.
“Continuity of practice is the secret to success.”
Savasana (final resting pose) is an important part of your yoga practice. After moving through physical postures, taking time to rest allows your body and mind to absorb the benefits of your practice, restore energy, and find balance before returning to your day. You may feel like resting is the easiest part of class, but it is also one of the most valuable. Taking time for yourself is never wasted — it creates space to reconnect, reset, and carry more awareness with you beyond the mat.
Absolutely! Private classes are a great option if you’re new to yoga and would like personalized guidance before joining group classes. They are also available for injury recovery, private groups, parties, and corporate wellness experiences.
