How to Register |
Online registration is optional
for all classes. Some classes are very busy and registering ahead of
time can save time at check-in.
If you do not register
online, then go a few
minutes early to your first class to fill out the registration form.
New students must phone ahead before attending Mysore-style Ashtanga
classes*.
It is not necessary to phone ahead for any other classes. Classes
are
ongoing and you can begin anytime. The
teacher is always happy to help you and answer your questions.
*Phone Laura Spaulding at her office
before class: 502-585-9642 to register for Mysore-style Ashtanga classes.

What You Need
for Class
|
Bring a
yoga mat.
Do not bring other kinds of exercise mats because they will not work
for yoga. Yoga mats are often called "sticky mats" and are
thin rubber or pvc plastic that give you firm footing for standing
poses. We sell all kinds of mats starting at $14.98. You can
also buy yoga mats at many large department stores or sporting goods
stores. You
can also rent a mat for regular classes for $1.
Hot Yoga: bring a sticky mat, a bath towel (or hot yoga cloth mat) and a
bottle of water. You can rent a mat for hot yoga for $2 and a towel
for $3.
DO NOT BRING:
-
any
kind of glass or breakable bottle or
container to the studio.
-
food,
drinks or chewing gum into the studio.
-
any kind of valuables or jewelry. Lock
your purse or wallet in the trunk of
your car. Do not leave items of value in
the dressing rooms.
Yoga East is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

What to Wear |
Exercise clothing
such as T-shirts, shorts and stretchy pants that allow freedom of
movement. Appropriate yoga wear is found in many department
stores.
Do not wear jeans,
street clothes, bulky clothes, revealing or see-thru clothes such
as Speedos, thongs, etc... Yoga is practiced in bare feet - no panty
hose, and remember to remove your socks. |

Yoga Class
Etiquette |
Be
on time for class!
Come several minutes early if you need to register or change
clothes so that you can be in your place, on your mat, ready to
begin at the start time for class. Students who come in late or
who leave early disrupt the class and this is disrespectful to
both the teacher and the other students.
Turn off your cell phone.
Remove your watch and jewelry
that might get in your way.
Remove shoes on entering the studio.
Leave your shoes on the shoe rack or in the cubbies in the
dressing rooms. |

New
to Yoga?
Recommended Classes |
Hatha Yoga,
Gentle Yoga, Hot Yoga, Pilates and Ashtanga Slow Flow are all recommended for new yoga students.
If you are a
senior, have not exercised in a while, are out of shape or
overweight, go to Gentle Yoga or Hatha Yoga classes until you are
comfortable with the pace of classes. Then ask your teacher for more
recommendations. |
