• Arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete paperwork, check-in and get situated.
• Wear light exercise clothing and be prepared to work in bare feet. If you wear pants, make sure they are fitted rather than loose yoga pants.
• Bring a water bottle, a large towel, and a mat. (Mat and towel rental is included during the Introductory Package.) You may purchase yoga mats, juices, and bottled water at our studio.
• Do not eat heavily before class. Wait at least two hours after a meal before practicing yoga.
• Before and after class drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Drink sparingly during class.
• Let the teacher know if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, heavy menstruation or have any injuries or problems that might affect your yoga practice.
• The room is heated to 100 degrees. The heat is very beneficial, though it takes getting used to. Take time to enjoy it and start to feel your body loosen.
• Please do not wear perfume, cologne or other strong scents to class. If necessary, please shower before class.

• Everyone's body shape and size is uniquely different and should never be compared.
• The most important factor in your yoga practice is not your physical alignment, but your mental alignment - your attitude. A well-aligned attitude requires a good amount of acceptance and humility. The key is to be non-judgmental about yourself and others.
• Pay attention to the teacher's instructions and to what happens when you follow them.
• Work on postures slowly, gradually, and patiently. Your body might have a different level of endurance each day. Regular practice helps to develop awareness of the "edge" between challenge and unhealthy struggle. Start slowly and listen to your body. Always try to be mindful and focused as you move in and out of postures.
• Do not hold your breath during postures as this causes tensions and strain.
• The effects of Bikram Yoga are cumulative. Being consistent over time and maintaining a beginner's mind will have a profound and lasting effect. When you practice yoga regularly and with commitment, the rewards will carry over into your daily life. Be patient and soon you will be enjoying the benefits of a true union between body, mind, and spirit.
