What to Wear
New students should wear comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing.
Some people prefer loose-fitting clothes and others prefer
tight, spandex-blend clothing. No shoes or socks are worn
in class.
Etiquette Please be on time. Arriving a few minutes
early to class gives you the opportunity to meditate or stretch
and prepare yourself for your class. Speak softly out of respect
to all those in the center. If you arrive late,
please wait to enter the asana room until after meditation/chanting.
The teacher will help you find a space. If you
must leave early, do so before savasana so as not to disturb
your fellow students. Please sign in every time. Please
make this a part of your practice. Print in legibly as to
ensure that we get an accurate count of all students. This
is how your teacher is paid. Remove your shoes upon entering
Infinite Bliss Yoga as a way of respecting the ancient tradition
of the East and to provide a clean environment in which to
practice. Inform your teacher about any injuries before
class begins. This is the only way for the teacher
to know how to adjust you and give modifications.
Pay attention to the teacher's instruction. Your
teachers have trained extensively. They are not just leading
you through a routine. They will give adjustments and assists
based on what is going on in the class that day.
You should not come to class with a full stomach, but it is
also recommended that you not come to class hungry. A
full stomach will be uncomfortable, especially during twists.
A growling stomach is distracting (to you), and many of the
postures require you to be focused and strong. Also, try not
to drink much water during class. This will maintain the internal
heat of your body as well as keep the asana room clear of
bottles. Drink plenty of room temperature water after class.
Purchase a yoga mat. Although Infinite Bliss
Yoga provides yoga mats for use, they are primarily for new
students. We recommend, for your own personal hygiene, that
you purchase your own mat. Owning your own mat is a commitment
to your practice.
Attend only the level of class recommended. To honor
everyone's path in yoga we ask that you only attend an advanced
class if you have an on-going, consistent practice or by permission
of the teacher. Although we appreciate your desire to progress,
it can be dangerous to yourself and your fellow students.
Please respect your guests as well. If they are new to yoga,
take them to a basics/level one class. It will be good for
both of you.
Cleanliness is divine. Respect your body temple and
those around you. Not everyone believes in that "natural
scent". This includes your yoga mat. Wash them regularly
with hot -but not soapy- water. A little Tea Tree Oil diluted
is a perfect anti-bacterial solution for your mat. Also, refrain
from wearing any perfume or fragrance to class.
Leave all cell phones and pagers outside of asana room. We
understand that there are times in which you need to be available,
in this case please speak to your teacher and they will gladly
assist you. Respect for everyone at Infinite Bliss Yoga is
our wish.
