Welcome! We are so happy that you've decided to join us. We guarantee that a regular Bikram Yoga practice will change your life in the most wonderful ways. Expect to sweat and have a great time!
When most people think of yoga, images of chanting and people maneuvering into seemingly impossible positions come to mind. Yoga is NOT just for the fantastically flexible. In fact, if you are not flexible, if you cannot touch your toes, or perhaps cannot even see your toes, you are a perfect candidate for the benefits of yoga.
During class nobody will look at you or judge you. The teacher will guide you and instruct you, always with compassion and respect. No need to be self-conscious. It's helpful to realize that people's focus is on themselves, they are working too hard to even notice you.
Arrive 15 - 20 minutes early for your first class. This gives us time for registration and orientation. Arriving early ensures a stress free and relaxed beginning to your lifelong Bikram Yoga practice.
You will need to bring a large towel*, hand towel, yoga mat* and water*. (*available for sale/rental).
Wear light, fitted exercise clothing such as sport bra/tank top, shorts or swimwear. Avoid sweats, long pants, heavy t-shirts.
Avoid eating 2 - 3 hours before class.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day so that you're well hydrated before coming to class. Good hydration supports the healthy function of all of your body's systems, and it makes the heat feel comfortable rather than overwhelming.
Bring a positive attitude! If you feel nervous, scared or a little intimidated, no problem; many people may feel that way initially. Don't let it stop you from coming to class. Bikram designed this class for beginners, so know that with a little practice and experience, you'll quickly feel right at home.
Come back! Take your second class within 24 hours. The second class is the equivalent of 3 to 4 classes, and you will bypass much of the soreness you'd experience otherwise. Make up your mind to take 10 classes as quickly as possible. Then no one has to tell you how good this yoga is for you. You will experience it for yourself.
Are you ready to change your life, meet new people and have a great time? Pick a convenient time and come to class as quickly as you can. We look forward to meeting you soon!
