Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, a large beach size towel, a bottle of water (no iced water!), and a change of clothes.

You should come to class on an empty stomach. You should not have food for 2 to 3 hours before class. You can drink juice or eat fruits up to 1 hour before class.

You should drink plenty of water every day. This is better than just drinking water before or during class.

It is important to stay hydrated so your elimination systems (bowel, urinary, and skin) can support your efforts.

Please let the teacher know if you have any injuries, illnesses, or special conditions. You can still do most yoga postures, with a few modifications that the teacher will show you. But most of all, you go at your own pace as you are your own teacher.
