HOW TO PREPARE

Plan in advance

  • Beginning yoga students generally have a better experience when they plan 24 hours in advance
  • This allows ample time for proper hydration and nutrition

Come to class well hydrated

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the 24 hours leading up to class (approx. 120 oz.)
  • Good hydration makes the heat more comfortable
  • It is also a mandatory safety precaution for first time students

Come to class on an empty stomach

  • Have large meals 3-4 hours before class
  • Lite snacks are okay 2 hours before class
  • Yoga feels best without too much food in your stomach

Arrive early for your first class

  • Get to the studio 20-30 minutes before class begins
  • This allows plenty of time for registration and orientation

Essentials

  • You’ll need a yoga mat and bottle of water
