Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Power yoga is another name for Ashtanga yoga in the west.
A regular practice will create a strong balanced body and calm, centered mind.

Will I sweat?
Yes.
The room is kept comfortably warm but is not consided 'hot yoga' as we are still 25-30 degrees F off that temp.
Ashtanga is a vigorous practice; the movement and body control will work up quite a sweat.

What do I bring?
Bring cool loose fitting clothing (shorts and t-shirt are best) - the room is warm.
A towel if you tend to sweat. A mat if you have one (we rent them for $2 so don’t worry if you don’t have one).
An open mind.
Do not eat at least 1 hour before class.

Will I gain flexibility?
Yes, you might not ever be able to fit yourself into a small box... but you will create a more flexible, balanced body and mind.

I'm used to registered classes, what does the unlimited mean?
Ashtanga yoga requires a regular practice.
All scheduled classes are drop-in, which allows you to pop in for a class whenever it is convenient for you and as often as you like.

I would like to bring my kids, is their a minimum age limit?
The minimum age is 11 years old with an adult to a level 1 class, or 13 years old if unaccompanied. Please print out the waiver form for legal guardian’s signature.

What if a class is full (maximum class size is 45 students)
Ultimately the classes are all "first come - first serve", we now have online sign up which also gives you points with our Yogi Rewards program. We do only allow 50% space for online sign up, the rest is first come first served.
