Getting Started

   

Welcome and Namaste. We know it can be disorienting to enter a Yoga Studio for the first time, whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner. These guidelines are designed to help you feel comfortable on your first, 20th or 100th visit! We want you to come back again and again!

At Addicted to Yoga your first class is FREE. It is important for us that you experience your first class with no obligation to commit but to enjoy every aspect of what Yoga has to offer. The best way to understand what Yoga is about and what it can mean to you is to attend a class and try it out for yourself.
 
When you arrive, please sign in at the front desk. Our friendly Yoga advisors, or front desk staff, will be able to guide you through the getting started process and they can properly welcome you, show you where to store your shoes and other belongings, and where the bathrooms are located. It is important to know that shoes are removed prior to entering the Yoga rooms in order to maintain cleanliness and consideration for the Yoga Space and the fellow Yogis.
 
You can bring your own yoga mat, but we do provide them free of charge for your use. We also provide any neccesary props, water, hot tea and towels. If class has not yet started, feel free to enjoy our courtyard area where you can drink some tea, mingle with other students, and realx for a few moments before your class starts. In the Lotus Room the mats are located in the back closet, once the room is open please grab a mat and find a space. In the Moksha Room, the mats are located in the left side of the room. Please make sure to inform the teacher of any pre-existing conditions prior to the start of class. 

It is best to practice on an empty stomach, drink plenty of water before class to remain hydrated through your practice. It is recommended to drink water before and after but not during your practice so the body stays warm throughout your entire practice. If there are other conditions necessary for water consumption, such as pregnancy, please keep your water in the room and drink when you feel comfortable. 

Commit to at least 5 classes before you decide if Yoga is right for you, that way you get the full benefits of the practice before making a decision. The more often you practice, the more benefits will come. Addicted to Yoga is a community Yoga studio and we welcome everyone in a positive, safe, friendly, and fun environment no matter your level or capabilities. Once Yoga happens to you, it happens forever.
