| What to Expect/What to Bring: All classes are suitable for beginner and continuing students. Some classes incorporate more yogic philosophy than others, so bring an open mind! Expect to sweat! If you tend to perspire a lot, it's a good idea to bring a small hand towel, and probably a bottle of water. If you have your own mat, bring it with. Otherwise there are ones available at the studio for your use. Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach, wearing comfy, stretchy athletic type clothing. As a courtesy to others, students are discouraged from wearing excessive jewelry or scents. Please get out and do something good for yourself, you'll be glad you did!
