GENERAL QUESTIONS
Mission
WHY YOGA?
We are biased on this question, but we believe yoga is for everyone. Studies show that practicing yoga regularly improves our strength, flexibility, balance, and sleep quality, while reducing stress and blood pressure. These are just a few of the benefits!
I AM BRAND NEW TO YOGA. WHERE DO I START?
Our Beginner Series, Slow | Beginner Flow, Gentle & Restorative, Rise & Shine Slow Flow, Restorative or Yin Yoga classes are all options, however, you can join at any time! Our instructors are experienced to guide students of all levels. Just connect with them before class and share it is your first class with us. They are always willing to answer any questions you have before or after class. We recommend setting your mat up in the middle of the room so you can look around at other students in class and follow the lead. Once you learn the names of poses, your practice will feel more natural.
​
WHAT STYLES OF CLASSES DO YOU OFFER?
We are proud to offer a variety of classes to our community. Our focus incorporates elements of alignment, mobility, and vinyasa, all with an emphasis on breathing mindfully. You will learn more on the flow of breath through practice. Your first focus will be on finding comfort in moving your body in a new way and connecting with the names of the poses. For information on all classes offered, visit our Class Description page.
​
I AM NOT FLEXIBLE. CAN I STILL DO YOGA?
Absolutely! A couple of classes to consider are Yin Yoga, Slow | Beginner Flow or Yin Yoga. Our experienced team of instructors can help you find settle into a pose until it feels right for your body. Listen to verbal queues and ask questions, if you have them! With consistent practice, your flexibility will improve quicker than you may think.
​
DO YOU OFFER HOT AND HEATED CLASSES?
We do! Classes that are at 90 degrees will be on the schedule as "hot." Our heated classes will say "heated" like this (heated). They are 85 degrees. Our hot and heated classes are at our Suamico studio. All other classes range from 72-78 degrees and feel cozy and comfortable. Come with water to stay hydrated! With all of our classes, be kind to your body and takes breaks when needed.
​
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PRACTICE BEFORE I SEE BENEFITS?
To see results in terms of improved flexibility, strength, and mental well-being, we suggest practicing 2-3 times a week to start. However, even an hour every week is beneficial. Just like when we add or shift anything in our life, consistency is key, and practicing yoga daily can help maintain the benefits of yoga. Practicing regularly for 3-5 times a week after 4-6 weeks is where we hear practitioners say they feel their best. Don't overwhelm yourself, 1-hour or 5-hours, you will still feel the benefits!
​

​
​
​
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Wear clothing that allows you to move freely. Athletic wear or loose-fitting sweats and t-shirts are best. Most women wear athletic pants and tops. Men generally wear athletic shorts (gym shorts or spandex) and t-shirts. Many students bring layers, since your body’s temperature will rise during the active portions of class and fall during final relaxation.
​
WHAT SHOULD I BRING INTO THE STUDIO?
Your yoga mat, water (you never know if you when you will need a drink) and small hand towel (if you prefer for extra cushion or sweat). Don't have a mat? You can rent one for $2.
All other personal items (including phones) stay in our lobby area. Doors are locked during class for everyone's safety.
​
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR CLASS?
Doors will open 15 minutes before class. Plan to arrive and be ready a minimum of 5 minutes before class starts.
​
IS THERE ANY ETIQUETTE I NEED TO KNOW?
Shoes should be removed and aren't allowed in the practice space. Silence your phone and leave it with your belongings in one of our cubbies. We are here to "unplug." If you arrive early to class, you are welcome to relax and chat in our lobby or set up your mat in the studio space and relax. Many students enjoy unwinding or taking time to meditate in the minutes before class, so we ask that the practice space remains peaceful. If you arrive late for class, latecomers will not be allowed.
​
