new to yoga?
here are some frequently asked questions and concerns. if you have any other questions, we always love to hear from you! drop us an email or give us a call @ 541.390.5678
"What are the benefits of Yoga?"
The techniques of yoga allow you feel better through the direct stimulation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System. Almost immediately, you will feel more relaxed, happier and inspired; not to mention you will start to gain flexibility, strength, balance and clarity!
"What do I wear?"
Be comfortable and ready to move! Generally, the same clothes you might use to exercise or workout in are appropriate for yoga. Try to avoid zippers and buttons, especially in your pants/shorts.
Men: shorts or loose pants with a drawstring or elastic waist. A top/t-shirt that is tighter fitting is best so that it does not fall over your head when you bend over.
Women: Many women wear loose or tight fitting athletic pants that have a drawstring or elastic waist. An athletic top that keeps everything in place is recommended. If you wear a shirt over the top, choose one that will not slip over your head when you take a forward fold.
"What do I bring?"
If you have a yoga mat, great! If not, we have loaner mats for your use, and also have eco-friendly yoga mats for sale in our eco-boutique. All props are provided. There is water available, but we encourage you to bring your own water bottle to help reduce waste!
"I'm too tight to stretch"
Isn't that why we want to help build flexibility? One of the common misconceptions about yoga is that you need to already be flexible to do it. However, yoga truly is for everyone, and we have a very wide range of classes for all levels and abilities. Yoga is about letting go of your inhibitions and embracing your truest form of self, so dont let your tight hamstrings hold you back! (and we bet that they will not be so tight anymore...) The first step is showing up.

"I feel self conscious about coming to a class. I am nervous about feeling out of place."
We want to see you. Yogis come in all sizes and shapes. And in truth most everyone else is just as self conscious and focused on themselves. Also, most people end up practicing with their eyes closed as the inner world becomes way more curious and enticing. Some people find that a few private lessons with us will help build confidence.
