Hydrate. Good hydration supports the healthy function of all the bodily systems and makes the heat more comfortable! It is also a mandatory safety precaution, for first-time students and longtime practitioners alike. We suggest one gallon of water in the 12–24 hours before class; electrolytes are recommended.
Come on an empty stomach. Large meals should be eaten 3–4 hours before class. Light healthy snacks (fruit, veggies, nuts) are fine 1.5–2 hours before. Yoga feels best when the body is not busy digesting.
Arrive early. Doors open 10 minutes before class and lock right at the start time. Give yourself time to check in, tour the studio, and lie down in the heat before anything starts.

To ensure you have a spot in your favorite class, please preregister. If your plans change, no worries. Just cancel at least 4 hours before class to avoid a fee. Late cancellations and no-shows incur a $25 fee. You can register up until 30 minutes before class starts. We can't wait to see you on the mat!
