PRACTICE GUIDELINES AND ETIQUETTE

Should I bring anything to class?
Bring a yoga mat, towel and water. Mats are available for use if you don’t have one, as are blocks and straps. We also have mats and towels for purchase; please ask your instructor or inquire at the front desk. After class, please return all mats, blocks and straps to their proper place.

Oh dear! What should I wear?
There is no need to come dressed in fancy yoga attire. As a rule of thumb, dress lightly in comfortable clothing that allows you to move and stretch. Avoid loose shirts that can fall over your face in certain poses.

What can I anticipate in my first class?
Congratulations! You are about to embark on a journey that will positively change your life. We recommend that you begin your practice in our Power Yoga Basics or Gentle Flow classes. This will enable you to learn the basics, as well as the proper alignment of each pose. Our Beginner’s Workshops are also perfect for familiarizing yourself with the poses. You may find your first few classes to be challenging, so remember to go at your own pace. Take a break anytime you need to rest (child’s pose is a great pose to rest in) and for as long as necessary; then rejoin the class when you’re ready.

Is there anything else I need to know
to make my experience more enjoyable?

  • Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before class to register.

  • Sign in on the appropriate class sheet at the front desk, even if you’ve registered online.

  • Please enter the lobby and common areas quietly, as others may be in savasana (deep relaxation) in the studio.

  • Take off your shoes in the lobby. PūrYoga offers a storage area for your belongings. When entering the yoga room, please only bring your yoga mat, towel, water bottle and your beautiful spirit.

  • Leave valuables at home. PūrYoga is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

  • Enter fresh and clean. Refrain from wearing perfume, cologne or scented body lotions.

  • Practice on an empty stomach. It is best to not eat a meal one to two hours prior to class. If you must eat for health reasons, keep it light and healthy. Your diet greatly affects your practice. Always listen to your body and give it what it needs.

  • Turn off all mobile devices. Please turn off and leave your mobile phone outside of the yoga room. Should you need to have it in the room for emergency purposes, please inform the instructor.

  • Hydrate. Drink plenty of water before and after class. Water is available for purchase at the studio.

  • Do not chew gum during class.

  • Notify your instructor or assisting attendant before class of any injuries or physical conditions that might affect your practice.

  • “Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.”

  • “Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”

  • “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

  • “Yoga is a mirror to look at ourselves from within”

  • “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” The Bhagavad Gita
