Following are some helpful hints and information regarding your partcipation in any Namasté yoga sesssion.

 

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

 

• Please be prompt. Plan on arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the start of your class. We lock the doors one minute before the class starting time.

 

• New students will be asked to sign a standard health club release form before participating. Our classes involve physical movement, if you have a health challenge, please check with your physician before participating in a class. We need to know if you have special physical limitations or if you are taking any medications that might make you dizzy.

 

• Eat very little in the two hours prior to class. A full stomach can result in nausea or an uncomfortable experience.

 

• Group classes begin with participants seated in a crossed leg position, with modifications if necessary. A few centering breaths and the toning of "Om" are used to set up a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. Classes end with "Om Shanti", meaning peace, and "Namasté" , an honoring of one another's inner connection.

 

• Mature, well behaved children aged 12 and older may register in classes where a parent, grandparent or guardian are also a registered participant.

 

• Wearing jewelry may interfere with your comfort in some positions.

 

• Please refrain from wearing perfume, scented after shave and lotions. Lotions may create a slipping hazard in certain positions. Also, many students are sensitive to scents.

 

• Currently, classes are for students who can get up and down off the floor relatively easily. Our hopes are to start a Chair Yoga class for those who can't. If you would be interested please let us know!

 

• Our classes are not suitable for pregnant women.

 

• Cell phones should be turned off. For on-call medical personnel and other special circumstances, please set phones to quiet/vibrate mode.
