Please do

Hydrate, before, during and after class.  Come to class fully hydrated and drink lots of water after class to replenish lost fluids from your yoga practice.

Bring your water bottles (at least one liter) to class. (You can bring your own or purchase water at the reception).  The teacher will tell you when water breaks are during the class. Try to refrain from drinking water in between the water breaks.

Be quiet and respectful of others in the yoga room.  Our lobby and locker areas are meant to be places of social interaction, please stay as long as you want.  However the yoga room is intended to be a quiet place, so please enter and leave quietly.

Wear comfortable clothing.  Shorts, leggings, t-shirts, tank tops, sport bras, bathing suits, etc.  Men usually wear shorts and t-shirts or go shirtless.  Remember it is quite warm in the room and cotton clothing tends to absorb sweat.

Bring your own mat and towel (yoga rug) or you can rent a yoga mat and a towel at the reception.  The yoga carpet/towel goes over the sticky yoga mat.  Some people bring a beach towel to use in place of a yoga rug. We also sell mats and rugs.

Focus on your own reflection in the mirror and direct your mind within.  Leave the outside world thoughts outside the yoga room and rest your mind (i.e., focus it on your yoga practice).

Try to stay in the room for the duration of the entire class.  Come down into child’s pose or savasana if you need to rest, but please try not to leave the room. 

Come 10 minutes early.  If this is your first class, please come 15 minutes early.  Please sign in at the reception.

Please don't

Bring your cell phone, PDA or pager into class.  If you are an emergency medical personnel, put your pager or phone on vibrate and place them under the corner of your yoga mat.  Otherwise, please try to keep yoga as a time just for you.

Wear shoes or socks in the yoga room. Yoga is done barefoot.  We have lockers and cubbyholes to store your socks and shoes until after class.

Wear perfume or scented lotions or oils.  Some of your fellow yogis may be sensitive to these smells.

Ask questions during class.  We will be more than happy to answer all your questions before or after class.

Talk in the yoga room.  Our lobby, reception, hallways, and locker rooms are social areas to meet and talk with the YogaOne instructors and your fellow yogis, and we encourage you to do so.  The yoga room on the other hand is a place for focus and meditation, so please be quiet and respect the space of your fellow yogis.
