I am a new Bikram
Yoga student. How should I prepare, what should I bring?
No prior experience
is required. Come with an empty stomach (ideally no food three or more hours
before class), bring a full size bath towel, hydrate before class and be
prepared to sweat.
Bring
water or purchase a bottle from us. Mats must be used and we supply mats
at no charge, however you may bring your own or purchase one from us.
Women
should wear light stretch clothing or shorts with an athletic top. Men
should wear loose fitting shorts with T shirts optional.
Please, no perfumes or scents.
Do I need a reservation?
No, all levels practice together. Just show up!
What is the purpose
of using heat?
To increase your flexibility, to allow you to go
deeper without injury, as well as to flush out toxins. It also promotes
circulation and relaxation.
How often
should I practice?
In
order to be effective, yoga must be practiced daily or on a regular basis
with no long lapses of time in between lessons. A minimum commitment of
10 classes in 30 days is recommended if the student is to derive
the maximum benefit from this yoga program. Once you start practicing
regularly you will find that you want to do yoga—not only is it fun, but
it works! The time and effort you put in will return to you tenfold.
Why
do you expire class series/cards?
The purpose of class card packages is to provide a price break to students
in return for paying in advance, otherwise the drop in fee of $15.00 applies.
We do not allow class card extensions or grant transfers or
exchanges. Series / cards may not be shared.
How
will I know if I have expired or am due?
If you have any question as to your status, please check the Due / Past
Due list at the front desk when you register for each class. We
have recently installed new Yoga software so for the most part this should
be available at our reception desk as well.
How do you keep students informed as to any class changes. workshops,
special events etc.?
Beside our web site and on site notices we use email.
If you have an email address and have not received any communication from
us in any two-three week period, it probably means we do not have your
email address or what we have is incorrect. You may update this by emailing
me or through our email sign up sheet at the center.
We are the only users
of our email list. To remove, simply indicate
"Remove" in the subject area.
