First Timers

FIRST TIMERS

• For first–timers, arrive 15 minutes before class to complete your registration.
• Remember your goal is to stay in the room for the whole 90 minutes.
• Never be afraid to kneel down when you need to as a beginner but know that your goal is to do all the postures for maximum benefit.
• Feeling dizzy, nauseous or light-headed is normal when you first get started.
• Don’t feel self-conscious; it’s helpful to realise that people’s focus is on themselves.
• Take your second class within 24 hours, although you may experience discomfort such as muscle aches.
• Drink plenty of water after the class.
• Yoga mats and bath towels are available for hire.

Make Sure You Have:

• An empty stomach – don’t eat 2 to 3 hours before the class.
• A clean body – no perfumes or aftershaves
• Proper hydration – drink plenty of water (1-2 LITRES) throughout the day before the class.
• 2 towels, one for class and one for showering after class
• Plastic bag for your wet clothes
• Bottle of water for class

Outfit:

• Wear light and fitted clothes – we need to see your knees! (shorts/singlets/tank top) for the ladies.
• Running shorts/biker shorts for the gentlemen.
• Avoid long sweat pants and heavy t-shirts (our room is 37ºC hot!)

Most of all…. An open mind and a good positive attitude – Be prepared to work hard !!!
