Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Yoga Classes
- Recommend taking 4 - 12 classes a month to start and build up gradually to unlimited classes.
- Focus primarily on the breathing techniques for the first month and practice in-between classes as often as possible.
- Respect your body’s limitations! Modify any difficult postures. GO AT YOUR OWN PACE! Rest when needed. Go gently into a stretch - NEVER force a stretch.
- Women: if pregnant or on first 3 days of monthly cycle, ask your teacher about Long Deep Breathing and helpful posture modifications.
- If you must for any reason skip several exercises, if you maintain the breathing, mantra and focus, you will benefit from the entire group energy anyway.
- EXTRA PADDING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! An extra mat or blanket is perfect and keeps the body warm during relaxation. A medium/large size pillow makes an excellent prop. We have a limited supply of extra mats, blankets and pillows in case you forget.
- Attire: loose, comfortable clothing, casual, nothing fancy. If you have long hair, it helps to put it up.
- Refrain from eating heavily before class. If you must eat, keep it light. Do bring water though; bottled water with a sports cap is primo.
- Attend class regularly. Progress is directly related to attendance.
- Bring a friend, the more, the merrier!
Class Descriptions:
Kundalini Yoga, a complete science, deals with the physical body, the triad of the body-mind-spirit and with the subtle energies of the body such as prana (life energy) and the chakras (energy centers in the spine). In each class the teacher instructs beginning and experienced students using mental focus, breathing techniques, mantras (sound vibration), postures (body positions), mudras (hand positions), meditation and relaxation to scientifically provide a more healthy, happy and whole way of life. Hatha/Amrit Yoga A dynamic meld of Hatha and Raja Yoga to bring about a state of greater integration of our mind/body/spirit towards wholeness.
Pre-Natal Yoga, all woman at any stage in their pregnancy are welcome! This program is designed to help mothers-to-be slow down and relax.

Prepare to strengthen your physical body, bring clarity and fearlessness to your mind, and free yourself with dance. These classes are centered around Kundalini Yoga techniques as taught by Yogi Bhajan and are designed to help mothers-to-be discover a deeper sense of peace and harmony within and without as you make a safe, peaceful space for your baby. Bring a meditative, focused mind to your birth experience and learn to trust in your own amazing power and strength as a woman. And ladies, if your partner/daddy-to-be wishes to attend with you, we heartily encourage you to sign 'em up and bring 'em along!
Yogi Bhajan explained the effects of the gong meditation this way: ". . . The gong is not an ordinary thing . . . Out of it came all music, all sounds, and all words . . . it is not a musical instrument, nor a drum . . . it is a beautiful reinforced vibration . . . it is the only tool with which you can produce this combination of space vibration."
The sound of the gong creates deep relaxation. The gong changes feelings that are blocked by cutting the thoughts that sustain and recreate the feelings. To regenerate the parasympathetic system, nothing is more powerful than the gong. All the student needs to do is let the entire body relax and let the sound of the gong penetrate the
body and guide the mind.
DISCLAIMER: The practice of yoga has benefited millions of people both physically and mentally. It is not intended to replace good, sound medical advice. The therapeutic benefits attributed come from centuries-old yogic tradition. Please consult a physician or mental health professional should the need for one be indicated.
