Things to know about The Yogi Coach classes

Regardless of which yoga class you attend,  you will always be reminded to honor your own “edge” or physical limitations.  Learning to respect and honor your own physical capabilities is a golden rule to remember.  Yoga props are encouraged and provide the proper aid to your practice.   Students will experience unique energy flows at each class.  Most classes offer different weekly routines to provide variety and new focus.  This variety will enhance your own awareness  and provide a more deeper yoga experience.

Some benefits you will receive from the class include:

Stress Reduction • Improved Flexibility • Enhance Immune System • Increases Core Stabilization  • Overall body strength • Improved  Circulation • Reduced anxiety • Lower blood pressure • Improved concentration & focus

  Some things to keep in mind about the class:

• Generally, classes will be either 75 minutes or 90 minutes, with a beginning, middle and ending;
  • Centering (Pranayama, Dirgha Pranayama, Ujjayi Pranayama)
  • Poses (Asanas, Vinyasas)
  • Relaxation (Shavasana)
• Arrive AT LEAST 5 minutes prior to class and plan to stay for the entire class.
• Turn cell phones off before entering the studio.
• No shoes are allowed on the studio floor
• Practicing Yoga on an empty stomach is best, at least 2 hours following a full meal
• Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing that allows you to breathe and move easily
• Please refrain from using perfumes or lotions
• Bring a yoga mat.  I would refer you to my blog  – All about Yoga Mats.  All purpose fitness mats are not very good for yoga so if anything make sure your mat is intended for yoga.
• Generally,  you will not need any water during class.  After class, it is recommended to increase your water, fresh fruit and vegetable intake
• Yoga is noncompetitive and does not conflict with Western religion
• Yoga is best practiced with a clear mind and body.  Refrain from smoking for at least 3 hours before class, and refrain from alcohol consumption for at least 12 hours before class
• For Restoration class,  please bring a few thick blankets, pillow and have an extra sweater handy
