new to ashtanga
If you have been practicing any other style of yoga
for a year or more a level 1 ashtanga is a good place to start. Once we see you in class we will be able guide you to the proper level.
meditation
There are many schools of thought on meditation. In general, it is the practice of quiet mind, which leads to understanding. The biggest mistake in meditation is to take the means to be the goal. Techniques are mere processes that help the germination of understanding. While we do not teach a specific meditation practice in classes we do offer some quiet time at the end of each class.

helpful hints
- We keep the studio warm and with the vigorous activity of Ashtanga Yoga be prepared to sweat.
- Bring a small hand towel.
- Don't eat before class. In general a light meal 2 to 3 hours before class is best.
- Hydrate before class and not during.
- Keep phones and alarm watches out of the studio. We are a phone-free yoga zone.
- The yoga center has a number of mats, blankets and blocks which you area welcome to use. However, as you continue your practice a personal mat is extremely useful.
- Comfortable fitting clothes that you would normally workout in are great. Try to stay away from extremely loose and baggy clothing.
