What do I bring and how do I prepare?
- Wear comfortable light clothes such as shorts/leggings and a t-shirt/tank top. Bring a yoga mat, and a small hand towel if you tend to sweat (for Foundations and Flow classes). We rent mats for $1 if you do not have your own.

During the class:
- Before class begins, we encourage you to meet your yoga neighbour!
- During class please refrain from chatting.

- Check your competitive side at the door. Although the room is full of people, yoga is a personal practice. You do not need compare yourself to those around you. Yoga is not a competition or a beauty contest.
- Practice with an open mind, and allow yourself some time to learn the practice. Just like anything, yoga takes time to learn - enjoy the process, as this is what yoga is really about anyways.
