Who is Yoga for?
The idea of “yoga” sometimes brings to mind hot, incense-filled halls wherein lean yogis sit on rugs contemplating their navels. This is not what it takes to begin yoga. Yoga is for everyone; every age and fitness level. In addition to being the most efficient physical exercise on the planet, yoga’s emphasis on tuning inward encourages us to strengthen and beautify our whole selves?not just our muscles. At It’s Yoga, we welcome beginners and experienced practitioners, as there is always some way to grow.
What kind of Yoga is offered at It’s Yoga and what are its benefits?
It's Yoga features Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, which synchronizes movement with purposeful, mindful breath. Benefits include improved cardiovascular functioning, a trimmer physique, stronger muscles, more youthful joints, and increased flexibility. Tuning in to physical sensations, observing the mind, and practicing response to the present moment lead to a deep sense of well being, balance, and aliveness.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, non-binding clothing (shorts, tank tops, sweatpants, and T-shirts are fine). We have several lines of great yoga clothing available at our store. You may want to wear layers to take off/replace as you heat up and cool down throughout your practice in order to stay comfortable. We offer changing rooms at It's Yoga for your convenience. Yoga is practiced in bare feet, so you may remove your shoes outside the practice room. Please do not wear perfume, cologne or other scents.
What should I bring? How should I prepare?
Please bring a sticky mat if you have one. (They may be purchased at the studio.) You may also want to bring a blanket for our Restorative and Evening Bliss classes. Drink water before, during, and after class; and for best results, an empty stomach is recommended. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class begins, and remember to turn off pagers and cell phones.
Where are you located?
