FAQs

  1. What should I bring to class? Bring a yoga mat if you have one and a water bottle to stay hydrated during class.
  2. What should I wear? Wear comfortable clothing that does not constrict movement of the body. Yoga is typically done in bare feet. Feel free to wear socks during beginning meditation and during final relaxation. You may want to dress in layers as the body warms up during our practice and cools down during Shavasana (final relaxation).
  3. I have never done yoga before. What class is best for me? If you are unsure of what class is best for you, please contact me prior to your first class.
  4. I'm pregnant. Can I do yoga? Yes, you can still practice yoga if pregnant however it is important to let me know that you are pregnant and where you are in your pregnancy. The practice of yoga during pregnancy is a wonderful way to bond with your unborn child while preparing the body for the birth process but there are specific modifications that must take place. If you are pregnant, please contact me prior to attending class.
  5. How long is a typical yoga class? My yoga classes are typically 75 minutes long however Restorative Yoga is 60 minutes in length.
  6. My 15 year old daughter wants to try yoga. Can I bring her to a class? Teenage children are welcome to attend class with or without parents as long as they are able to tolerate the length of the class.
  7. My daughter's Brownie troop would like to try yoga. Can you do a yoga class for us? I offer workshops for special events. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
  8. Do you offer private yoga sessions? Yes. Private sessions are a wonderful way to address your specific needs or to enhance your personal practice.
  9. Do you provide modifications if I can't do a pose? Yes. Modifications and challenges are always provided so that each student is able to access a posture based on their ability level.
  10. Do you use blocks or blankets in class? What are they used for? I frequently use props (blocks, straps, blankets) in my classes. We all have varying levels of flexibility, or strength and I find that use of props assists students in honoring their bodies while finding comfort in a pose.
