Yoga, with regular practice, will help build muscle strength, improve flexibility, balance and co-ordination. It is also good for your mental health and well being, helping to calm the mind, easing away stress. Yoga, with movement, while focusing within, brings back harmony to your body & mind, and joy back to your spirit.

It is ALWAYS recommended to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
Yoga FAQs
What to wear?
Comfort is the key word. Wear clothing that is non-restrictive that allows you to move freely. Generally, any exercise clothing is good. Don't wear items that will restrict your movement such as tight jeans, belts, etc. Yoga is practiced in bare feet.
What do I need?
Yoga mats and props provided. Though, it's more hygienic to have your own yoga mat and yoga props.
Can I eat before class?
It is best not to eat a full meal 2 hours before class or a light snack 1 hour before class. Yoga does not feel good on a full stomach!
When should I arrive for class?
Try to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class. This will give you time to sign in and settle down.
