​

I want a work out. What class will be the best for that?

​

What if I cannot do some of the poses?

This is normal for a number of reasons. 90% of students do not do the poses exactly as they are taught and it is fine! Every person's body is different and have different histories. The poses will look differently on everyone. Yoga teaches you to get to know your body + move your body in ways that make it feel good. For this reason, you can do any modification or version of the pose that meets your body where it is : do what you want on the mat that makes you feel good. Feel free to ask the teacher other ways to do the pose, to skip poses,  or to do something different. The focus is to HELP your body (not hurt it). The studio is a judgement free zone that encourages you to take care of your unique body by making decisions on how to get to know your best to give it what will nurture it. The teacher will provide modifications + options and all you need to do is call us over and we can help!

​

What if I am bored? 

If you are a person who has a hard time relaxing then you can get bored in a yoga class. A healthy body + mind needs balance, both the yin + yang and fast + slow. Maybe you are not bored but rather learning how to relax and slow down. Yoga, at the end of the day, is a class that teaches you about YOU and who you are and how to take care of you best. 

​

I am intimidated + nervous. Should I still come?

Yes! Most people are the first time. This is all the more reason to come. It is good to stretch your emotional stuff by puttng yourself in situation that are safe and good for you but intimidating. Yoga has been around for thousands of years. It has stood the test of time for a reason.

I am tight and not flexible. Should I still come?

Where else would you go? Yoga classes help release tension and help you to become flexible. What better place to be then there? Side note: most people are tight and not flexible, including Shawna, the owner of the studio. That is why it is important to stretch. ​

I am not good at yoga. Should I still come?

There are million excuses people make to not do something. It actually takes less energy to just do the thing you are making excuses for. There is no such thing as being good at yoga. It is not a sport or competition. It is hygiene + needed for your body + mind. Most doctors + therapists will recommend it.
