The word “Yoga” essentially means, “that which brings you to reality”. Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. The “Yoga Sutra,” a 2,000-year-old dissertation on yogic philosophy by the Indian sage Patanjali, teaching how to master the mind, control the emotions, and grow spiritually. The Yoga Sutra is the earliest written record of yoga and one of the oldest texts in existence and provides the foundation for all modern yoga. Modern western practice today is focused mainly on breathwork (pranayama) and physical postures (asanas). We "on-the-go" lives, let's take the time to slow down and reset our mind, body and souls.
Come to class in comfortable, loose clothing such as yoga pants, workout clothing. Shorts are typically not worn. We practice barefoot unless it is noted on the class description to bring gym shoes. Socks are okay as long as they are grippy to prevent slipping.
We require yoga mats to be used during class to prevent injury (we provide mats to use for class if you do not have one), a towel is recommended. provide props such as blocks, bolsters, straps, etc. You are more than welcome to bring your own. We provide organic mat cleaner and towels for your sanitation. If you use are studio mat for practice, please be curtious and wipe down the mat with the mat spray provided. We have cold water bottles for purchase in our "Chandra Store" or you can bring your own water bottle to class, (staying hydrated is important).
You may come into the studio as early as 15 min before class starts. The doors will be locked once class starts to keep our customers and their belongings safe. If you are aware you are going to be arriving late and call the studio within 5 min of start time, we will keep the door unlocked until you arrive up until 5 min after class starts. In efforts to keep classes flowing and keep everyone safe (Covid-19), we require the lobby to be cleared 15 min after classes have ended unless you are signed up for the next class until further notice.
Eat something light before class such as a light meal, fruit, crackers, etc. Drink plenty of water (staying hydrated is key to staying healthy)
