Yoga Etiquette

1. Allow a minimum of 2 hours after a meal before practicing.

2. It is best to drink water before and after class as water cools the body down. One of the purposes of asana practice is to generate cleansing inner heat, whereby this process is interrupted if water is taken in during the practice.

3. Arriving late might lead to injury as each class is structured in a progressive manner and latecomers arrive without proper concentration. Please be punctual.

4. Please do not leave the studio while the class is in progress and it is not advisable to leave without relaxing down properly.

5. Never hold your breath in a pose as a perfect asana is when you can maintain a graceful breathing rhythm.

6. Value your own process more than any result. It is not about what you do but how you do it

7. Inform Ashley (your Yoga Instructor) of any relevant physical condition before the class so you might be advised of any relevant instructions. Asanas in which the pelvis is higher than the heart are advised against in cases of high-blood pressure or during menstruation. Develop the ability to listen to your own body as the ultimate guideline in making these of decisions.
