Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend our Hatha Yoga or Beginner's Flow classes for those new to yoga. These classes move at a slower pace, provide detailed instructions, and offer modifications for all poses. You might also consider booking a private session to get personalized guidance before joining group classes.

Absolutely not! This is one of the most common misconceptions about yoga. Yoga is a practice that can be adapted to your individual needs and abilities. Many people start yoga precisely because they want to improve their flexibility. Our instructors provide modifications for all body types and ability levels.

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows you to move freely. Many people prefer fitted clothes that don't bunch up during poses, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable. You'll practice barefoot, so no special footwear is needed.

We provide mats, blocks, straps, and blankets for your use. If you prefer to bring your own mat, you're welcome to do so. We recommend bringing a water bottle and a small towel if you tend to sweat. For hot yoga classes, a larger towel is recommended.

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before your first class to complete any necessary paperwork and get settled. For returning students, 5-10 minutes is sufficient to set up your space and center yourself before class begins.

This depends on your goals and schedule. For noticeable benefits, we recommend practicing at least 2-3 times per week. However, even once a week can provide benefits. Some dedicated practitioners come daily, while others visit a few times a week. Listen to your body and develop a consistent schedule that works for you.

We offer several styles to meet different needs:

• Hatha: A gentle practice focusing on basic postures and breathing techniques.
• Vinyasa: A flowing practice that synchronizes movement with breath.
• Yin: A slow practice with poses held for longer periods to target deep connective tissues.
• Restorative: A relaxing practice using props to support the body for deep relaxation.
• Meditation: Focused sessions for mental clarity and inner peace.

Check our Services page for detailed descriptions of each style.

Yoga can be adapted for a variety of needs, and safety is always our priority. Please consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program. Inform your instructor about any injuries or conditions before class so they can suggest appropriate modifications. For specific concerns, we recommend booking a private session for personalized guidance.

For regular classes, we ask that you cancel at least 2 hours before class time to avoid being charged for the session. For private sessions and special workshops, we require 24-hour notice for cancellations. You can cancel through our online booking system or by calling the studio.

Class packages are non-refundable but have a generous expiration period. Monthly memberships can be frozen once per year for up to 30 days for illness, injury, or travel. Annual memberships include two freeze options per year. Please contact our front desk for specific situations.

Yes, we have a dedicated parking lot with free parking for students. During peak hours, street parking is also available in the surrounding area. We encourage carpooling or using alternative transportation when possible as part of our environmental commitment.

Our regular adult classes are suitable for ages 16 and up. Teens 13-15 may attend with a participating adult. We offer specialized kids' yoga classes (ages 5-12) and family yoga sessions several times per week. Check our schedule for these offerings.

Regular yoga practice offers numerous benefits, including:

• Increased flexibility, strength, and balance
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved posture and body awareness
• Better sleep quality
• Enhanced focus and mental clarity
• Boosted immune function
• Relief from common ailments like back pain and headaches
• A sense of community and connection

The benefits you experience will depend on your consistency, intentions, and the styles of yoga you practice.

Many people report feeling better—more relaxed, centered, and physically at ease—after just one class. For lasting physical changes like increased flexibility or strength, consistent practice over several weeks or months is typically needed. Mental benefits often appear sooner. Remember that yoga is a lifelong journey, not a quick fix. Consistency is key, and the benefits deepen over time.

While yoga has roots in ancient Indian spiritual traditions, the practice as taught at our studio is not religious. We focus on the physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation practices that promote physical and mental well-being. Students of all religious backgrounds (or none at all) are welcome, and there is no expectation to adopt any particular belief system.
