Getting Started

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Bare feet work best for yoga, and layers are helpful for cooler mornings at the beach.

You don't need to be flexible to begin yoga. In fact, improving flexibility is one of the benefits of practicing regularly.

What should I expect at my first class?

You'll be warmly welcomed, introduced to the class, guided through each movement, and encouraged to work at your own pace. Our Christian yoga classes include Scripture, prayer, movement, breathing, and relaxation.

Do I need my own mat?

Bringing your own yoga mat is recommended. For beach classes, you may also want a large towel underneath your mat for added comfort.

Should I eat before class?

A light snack one to two hours before class is usually best. Staying hydrated before and after class is also important.

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! Yoga is even more enjoyable when shared with friends and family. Everyone is welcome.

What if I have injuries?

Please let me know before class. I'll offer modifications to help you practice safely within your comfort level.

Beginners often enjoy our Beach Yoga, Gentle Yoga, or Chair Yoga classes. If you're unsure, contact me and I'll help you find the perfect fit.
