Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yoga?
Yoga is a system of physical and mental practices that originated more than 6,000 years ago. Its purpose is to assist each one of us to achieve our highest potential, improve our health and discover joy through our connection with the mind, body and spirit. With yoga we can improve the quality of our lives by reducing the levels of stress and fatigue we carry in our bodies. We can live longer and better together.
I am new and trying to sign up for the "New Student $15 Unlimited Week." Can I do that online?
The "New Student $15 Unlimited Week" option is only available at the studio. Arrive early and stop at the front desk to register.
I’ve never done yoga before. What classes are best suited for me?
Beginners and first time visitors should start with our Slow Flow or Power Yoga Basics classes. Also, look for our Beginner’s Workshops, they are the fastest way to jump-start your practice. Be patient with your progress! Over time, you will become familiar with the poses and you will soon be comfortable in any class on our schedule.
Can I do yoga if I am inflexible?
Absolutely. Practice regularly and you will quickly gain flexibility and strength. All of our classes engage and stretch your muscles, improving your balance, focus, power and range of motion.
What do I wear?
Wear comfortable exercise pants, leggings or shorts made of breathable fabric. A form-fitting top made of a supple fabric will make your practice more comfortable. Check out the Breathe Boutique for some of our favorite clothing for both men and women. Bare feet only in the studio, please.
Do I need a mat?
Yes. You will need a yoga sticky mat. If you do not own one, you can rent one from us for $2.00 or purchase one of our many varieties in the Breathe Boutique. You will also want to bring a towel for your mat. Sweat can quickly make your sticky mat a slippery mat.
Can I come to any class on the schedule?
Yes. Our classes are ongoing and you can attend any class you want. Certain classes and workshops will can fill up. To ensure you are enrolled in your favorite class, we recommend online advance registration.

What is the meaning of OM and why do we OM before class?
OM is an ancient mantra, a primordial vibration (definition: prīˈmôrdēəl ~ existing at or from the beginning of time). It is so old that its very nature is innately sacred. In many of our classes we start and end by chanting three (3) OMs to create harmony and unity within the class.
What is the meaning of Namaste?
Our classes always end with the teacher and students reciting the word Namaste. Simply said, Namaste means: “The Light in Me Honors The Light in You.” Reciting Namaste enables individuals to come together energetically, to a place of connection.
