ADDITIONAL INFO FOR BALTIMORE AREA CLASSES:
*Please bring your own sticky mat(yoga mat). If you forget to bring yours to a session or have not been able to pick one up before attending your first session, some extra mats will be available at the studio. If you have any questions as to where to find a mat or what type to get, please contact the instructor. Blocks, blankets and straps will be available in Fallston studio classes to enhance your practice.(Students should consider bringing these things if necessary to the Essex community classes to assist their practice, please contact instructor if questions about whether or not this would be necessary for you)
*Try to practice on an empty stomach or(if you are hypoglycemic or can easily get lightheaded) a light snack 30 min. before.(ex. I usually eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts) Allow a few minutes before every class to visit the restroom so that stretches will be comfortable for you. If you need to use the bathroom during a session, please do not hesitate to do so- this practice is meant to be comfortable for you- please exit and reenter quietly. It is a good idea to bring a bottle of water to remain hydrated and to rebalance your system after practice.
*Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and register if not already prepaid. Please allow some extra time to fill out STUDENT REGISTRATION FORM if it will be your first class, or email instructor to be sent a copy to fill out at home prior to attending.
*Classes will begin on time. Please try to arrive at least five minutes early. If you are in a situation that will have you running a few minutes late, please do not feel that you shouldn't come to class, instead- enter class quietly and place your mat closest to the entrance.
*Turn off all cell phones
*During the colder months(and in ALL YIN CLASSES), dress warmly, IN LAYERS. body temperature will cool during poses designed for relaxation. Please wear clothes suitable for stretching or loose non-restrictive clothing that will not gape open during stretches. Sweats and a t-shirt/ sweatshirt are fine.
*Teacher reserves the right to cancel class if less than 5 students registered for any monthly session. Preregistration not only saves you money, but will also insure that the class you signed up for will be held. In the case of a cancelled class, you may enroll in another class or hold your position for the next month's registration.
