Yoga Etiquette and Helpful Hints

  •  Yoga is living life in balance and harmony with your self and your environment. The yoga studio is an intimate and communal environment that functions best when everyone honours each other and the space.
  •  It’s best to practice on an empty stomach. It is recommended that you do not eat at least two hours before a strong yoga practice. If you need to, eat something easily digestible like fruit or yoghurt.
  •  It is recommended that you acquire your own yoga mat. You may use the studio’s mats but it’s more hygienic to own your own.
  •  No shoes in the yoga studio. In yoga, practitioners put their hands, and sometimes their faces on the floor so we keep the studio a shoe-free zone.
  •  Please leave mobile phones outside the yoga studio. If you have to bring your phone inside the studio make sure it is OFF – not on silent or vibrate mode.
  •  Arrive a few minutes early. Allow yourself ample time to register, change, set up your mat. Make ‘being on time’ part of your practice. If you happen to be late; take a few breaths, unroll your mat outside, then enter the studio slowly and quietly.
  •  If you have to leave a class early, tell your teacher and leave quietly before the closing relaxation.
  •  Anti-perspirants can be counter-productive to the purifying and detoxifying practice of yoga. If you are practicing a dynamic form of yoga, or are likely to perspire a lot during your yoga practice, you might consider bathing prior to your practice. There’s a shower at the studio.
  •  Be respectful to yourself. Make sure your teacher is aware of any pre-existing condition or injury that might affect your yoga practice. Honour your body and practice within your body’s limitations.
  •  Yoga is not a competitive sport! And it’s not just a ‘workout’. It is a multi-dimensional spiritual practice, which makes the body, mind and spirit stronger, more flexible and generally much healthier. Calm your mind, open your heart and enjoy yourself.
  •  Be kind to yourself. Take rests. Remember wherever you are; you are perfect.
