Yoga Etiquette: Creating a Peaceful Space 🕊️
To honor the practice and each other, please observe the following:
- Shoes: Leave them at the door—let’s keep the space clean and sacred.
- Phones: Turn off or silence your phone. Silence is golden in the yoga room!
- Quiet Time: Keep conversations to a minimum and enjoy the peaceful environment.
- Stay in the Room: Once class begins, please stay inside the room—no coming and going.
- Fragrance-Free Zone: Kindly avoid wearing strong perfumes or scents to keep the air fresh for everyone.
- Need a Break?: If you need a rest, just sit down quietly on your mat.
- Door Etiquette: Try to limit door openings, as it can disrupt others' meditative state.
Hydrate & Nourish Your Body 💧🍏
Your body needs the right fuel for an amazing practice. Here’s how to get prepared:
- Hydrate: Drink water throughout the day leading up to class. Stay hydrated to keep your body feeling good!
- Pre-Class Fuel: Skip heavy meals 2-3 hours before class. Instead, enjoy a light snack like bananas, yogurt, or fresh fruits to energize your practice.
- Electrolytes: Replenish your body with electrolytes—try coconut water, kombucha, or a homemade mix of water, sea salt, lime, and honey. It’s delicious and nourishing!
- Avoid Hunger: Don’t come to class starving—just a light snack will do!
