Welcome
to House Of Yoga.
Take off your shoes and stay awhile.
To offer all students the most positive and beneficial
yoga experience we ask that you review the House Etiquette guidelines.
• Arrive
10 - 15 minutes early.
You won't be rushed and you can be on your mat to get
centered for your practice.
• Please
enter through the front door.
Our back door is attached to the practice space and is used for
emergencies only.
• PLEASE DO NOT leave class early;
it’s disruptive
to others.
• Choose a class that is appropriate for you.
A teacher will be happy to assist you in this.
Taking a class that is not suitable for you will not only affect
you, but will also affect the others in the class.
• PLEASE DO NOT eat for two or three hours before
your class.
Yoga practice requires an empty belly. Your energy in class should
be focused on your practice, if your body is busy digesting food,
only part of your energy is contributing to your practice.
• Let
your teacher know about injuries or conditions that might affect
your practice.
A teacher will offer modifications of poses to
suit your needs.
• Bring your own mat and a towel if you sweat a lot
• Arrive
free of perfumes and colognes
• Wear
comfortable loose fitting clothes. If you are coming to a class
which offers inversion poses (where you are upside down) make
sure your top is fitted enough that you can go upside without
feeling self-conscious that your shirt will be falling over
your head.
Before
entering the practice space:
1. Remove shoes and leave them by the door.
2. Turn off your cell phone and leave it in the transition room.
3. Take only what you really need into the practice
space.
Allow yourself to enter into a sacred + peaceful space for your
practice
Keep the area around your mat clean.
Only bring water into the space if you absolutely
need to hydrate yourself during practice.
Remember that you are
building internal heat this heat is part of the cleansing process
that will detoxify your body, drinking during practice puts out
the fire.
Create an intention for your practice - to become more aware,
more compassionate, healthier and happier. |
