What to expect in class |
|
Please
come to class with an open mind. |
 |
My goal is to create an environment where you can get to know yourself better. I primarily focus on the physical body. I do incorporate as much breathing and yoga philosophy as I can into every class. I hope that you will try to practice at home, even a few poses is good. You can expect that in class I will ask you to work hard and be focused. You can expect that I will work hard and be focused as well, going the distance to ensure your safety and comfort in every pose. |

Wearing comfortable clothes that are not too baggy. |
 |
Start with a t-shirt and shorts or tights. Shorts or tights are best because
I need to be able to clearly see your legs. Wearing
layers
is good
too so
that
you can stay warm in the resting poses. |
| |
With an empty stomach. |
It does not feel good to do yoga with a full stomach. Try not to eat a big meal less than 2 hours before class. If you do need a snack before class, try something light such as a piece of fruit or a salad. |

|
On time. |
I
start and end class at the scheduled time. Come
early so that you have time to check in and get settled. |
Inform me of your condition and needs. |
If you are menstruating, pregnant or sick, I want to know it at the beginning of class. If you have any major illness or surgeries in your past, I want to know about it at the beginning of class. My role as a teacher is to get to know you in your uniqueness and to design a class that is specific to your needs. I cannot take care of you if I don’t know what is going on. |
Ready to be honest with yourself. |
The student-teacher relationship is a cosmic dance. Yet, we each must take responsibility for our own actions and bodies. I promise to work hard in creating a safe environment, and expect that you will take responsibility for yourself in class. |
