Getting Started In Studio

Yes You Can Do Yoga

Odds are if you're reading this you're debating whether to come or not.

And we get it.

Everyone who has ever practiced yoga had the same decision to make.

Here is what you should know to make your choice easier.

There isn’t just one type of person who does yoga.  We have everyone from teenagers to people in their late 70s, women, and men of all different shapes and sizes who practice here.

You don’t have to know anything about yoga.  That’s our job, to teach you step-by-step, a little at a time so that you can be successful.

And the benefits of yoga are there for you.

Strength, flexibility, calmness, and connection.

This is a life-affirming, transformational practice that can strengthen you on the inside and out.

It will make a difference in how you live your life, improve the quality of your relationships and make you happier--if you give it time to work.

Take the first step and sign up.

New to Yoga? Here's What You Need to Know

Manduka Mat

Get a Good Mat

Yes there is a difference in mats.  There are the cheap mats that cost about $20 at places like Target.  They are slick, offer minimal support and end up in landfills on a very frequent basis.

We recommend buying a Manduka mat.  They come in two different thicknesses, both come with a lifetime guarantee, and are the standard in the industry.  A mat is the only piece of "yoga equipment" you'll need.  (Yogi Toes--a towel with silicone beads to help grip, are also nice to have.)

Sweat

Sweat

Is actually beneficial for you.  It's detoxifying, gives your kidneys a break and helps to cool you down.  One way to sweat less is to keep a layer of sweat on you in practice instead of always wiping it away.  It works.

Karma Yoga Bottle

Drink Water

You will sweat in this practice.  By waiting until class to have your first water of the day, you make it more difficult for your body to stay hydrated.  

Drink water throughout the day.  And bring your water in a stainless steel or other BPA free bottle.

We also offer filtered water and water bottles you can borrow if you forget yours. 

Breathe

Breathe

This is a breathing practice first.  By listening, and honoring your breath, you'll know when you're working "just right" and not over or under doing it.  You can always take child's pose whenever you need a break or need to regain your focus.

New Student Tips

New Student Tips

Here are some things to know to make your experience more enjoyable.

  • What to Bring

    Always bring a yoga mat, towel and water bottle.  We're happy to loan you one for the day if you forget.  We also sell premium mats when you're ready to buy your own.  

  • What Class to Take

    If you’re new to yoga we recommend the Level 1 class, a complete and foundational practice. We also suggest new students place their mats somewhere in the middle of the room. We move in different directions and this ensures you always have a visual guide in front of you. If you are familiar with Sun Salutations then you will most likely be comfortable in an All-Levels class.

  • Practice Consistently

    To get the most out of yoga, a regular, consistent practice is key. Aim for 2-3 times a week in the beginning.  This allows you to build strength, flexibility and balance at a comfortable pace.  After a month or two you can move to 3-5 times a week. 

  • What Temperature is the Room

    Our studio is kept at 85 o It’s warmer in the back of the room, cooler in the front. 

  • Where to Park

    Please park on the street. Spaces are FREE, plentiful and are good for two-hours.  Help us be good neighbors by avoiding driveways.  Please do not park in the parking lot—the spaces are for the lofts, offices and spa. 

  • Courtesy

    Please silence your cell phone and avoid wearing heavy fragrances.

  • When to Eat

    Everyone responds differently to eating and moving physically.  A good guideline is to avoid eating anything heavy 2-3 hours before you practice.

  • Flexibility

    If you are inflexible, yoga is where you can change that. Give it time.  People drastically overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year.  Your body is changing all of the time.  You can help it move towards being more flexible as well as stronger.

  • Yoga & Other Exercise

    Yoga is different from other forms of fitness in that we move to feel and experience insight—not to achieve a goal. However you’ll also notice yoga complements and enhances the quality of everything else you do.

  • The Purpose of Yoga

    Yoga is a practice to help you know yourself and the world about you. It begins the moment you begin to pay attention.  The style we practice is called Bhakti Vinyasa.  People who practice regularly develop healthier, fitter bodies, however, it is the relaxed feeling of joy that keeps people practicing.  Yoga feels good.
