WOBBLING YOGI CLASSES & PRICING

With regular practice, you will notice your body getting stronger and more flexible; you will feel more grounded and have better posture. On a mental level you will notice improved focus, the ability to stay calm and maintain relaxed breathing.

Preregistration and waiver completion is required for all classes. Arrive 15 – 20 minutes early to check in and let the instructor know of any injuries or other concerns. Turn off your phone and remove shoes in the designated area; all classes are done barefoot. Find a mat marker on the floor and quietly roll out your mat and lie down in Shavasana (Corps pose). You’re welcome to talk freely in the hallways before and after class and kindly ask that you observe silence once you enter the yoga room.

It is a misunderstanding that you have to be flexible or strong to do yoga. We work on many levels including the body, the breath, the mind and the spirit in every class. You will find yourself becoming more flexible and strong as you continue to practice yoga.

It is a good idea to try different classes to get an idea of the style of yoga and teachers you like and is right for you. Hatha Power and Flow classes tend to be the more physically demanding classes, while Hatha Foundation and Yin Yoga classes are less physically challenging.

Bring water to stay hydrated, a yoga mat if you have one and a towel. Yoga mats are ideal, as they are “sticky” and help prevent sliding. We have yoga mats and other gear available for purchase if you do not have one.

Athletic clothing where the instructor can have a good idea of your body alignment, and at the same time clothes that are comfortable, fast drying and do not restrict your movement.

Every class is different, but there are common elements you can expect. The teacher may start with an intro to a theme; there’ll be a centering (where you connect with your breath and body), warm-ups, poses linked together, cool-downs, and your final pose, Shavasana (where you lie down on your back). To find out what the different classes are, go to our schedule. You can click on the name of the class, and it will give a description.

It is a good idea to come to class hydrated and drink plenty of water after yoga class. Try not to eat a full meal at least three hours before class.

Yoga can be very beneficial during pregnancy, but make sure to let your instructor know you are pregnant. Make sure to avoid twisting, inversions, pranayama, any abdominal strengthening pose and lying on your belly. Remember, balancing poses may get tougher as you progress in your pregnancy so use the wall or blocks to keep yourself balanced and stay in the pose longer. Make sure to drink plenty of water and take bathroom breaks whenever needed. Please be sure to discuss taking yoga classes with your doctor.

It is always appropriate to talk to the instructor about any existing physical conditions and concerns you have about them. Yoga benefits many people with chronic pain by helping the body regain its balance between strength and flexibility, movement and awareness. If you are under a doctor’s care for an acute situation, please be sure to discuss taking yoga classes with him or her.

Yoga is not a religion; however, the teacher may bring in some spiritual concepts. Chanting Om (AUM) is considered to be a form of meditation – a clearing and calming of the mind. Namaste is a respectful greeting or an acknowledgement of one soul to another; the translation is: “I bow to you.” Usually, the teacher will end with a Namaste to everyone, and everyone will repeat it back. You may choose not to chant Om or say Namaste, and that is perfectly ok.
