Our classes are carefully designed so you may derive the maximum
benefit from your experience. Following are some guidelines and
suggestions that you will find useful in your practice of Body
Awareness Yoga.

All classes begin with warm-up movements and breath awareness to
prepare for yoga postures. The heart of each class is a sequence of
postures that stretch, strengthen, and balance your body. Each
class ends with deep relaxation and/or meditation.

Please let us know if you are under a doctor’s care or if you have any
specific health conditions, such as high or low blood pressure, back
problems, sinus troubles, recent major surgery, or if you are
pregnant, etc. We will then be able to give you special guidance.

To receive maximum benefit from yoga, it is preferable that you
practice daily (or at least four times a week) what you are learning in
class. You are encouraged to ask questions in class about anything
that is unclear to you.

Regular attendance is highly recommended. Please try to arrive 10
min. early so you have time to relax before class begins. Door will be
locked when class begins to assure privacy and safety (so don’t be
late!!!)

When you enter the center, leave your worldly cares and troubles
outside the door. No cell phones are allowed. Picture yourself
entering an environment of peace and relaxation. Lie down quietly
on your blanket or mat, relax and allow yourself to enter into the
experience of being in the “here and now”.

After the relaxation at the end of the class, try to hold on to the
feeling of relaxation and well-being by maintaining silence as much
as possible.

It is best to perform postures on an empty stomach. Allow one to two
hours before practicing. You may, however, have a glass of juice or
piece of fruit up to an hour before.

The benefits of Yoga available to you are many, regardless of your
age, flexibility, or degree of proficiency in the exercises.   We will be
happy to offer assistance in whatever way possible.

Please bring water, a mat or towel to class and
please avoid wearing strong fragrances.

Yoga Nidra:   “The journey “in” begins here”.
Come experience the deep sleep of the Yogi. Practiced for
thousands of years, it is a profound form of meditation, and self
inquiry. Lying down, sitting comfortably in a chair or propped at
the wall, you choose, the technique is simply to stay “awake”,
“alert”, and “aware” while sensing and experiencing the
body/mind during varying states of consciousness.
