Yoga Class Do’s and Don’ts

Here are some ways to get more out of the YOGA class you attend:

Do arrive early. Getting to class about 10 minutes early can help you settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the
class.

Do let your teacher know about injuries or conditions that might affect your practice. If you are injured or tired, skip poses you
can’t or shouldn't’t do, or try a modified version.

Do be quiet. It’s great to share a class with people you know, but it can be distracting to yourself and others to have an
extended or loud conversation.

Do pick up and neatly put away any props you use.

Do bring a towel or your own mat if you sweat a lot. If you are borrowing a mat, please be considerate and wipe it down so it is
clean for the next person.

Do arrive clean free of scents that might distract or offend others.

Do create an intention. To help you focus, you might find it helpful to dedicate your practice to a certain intention. This might be
to become more aware and understanding, more loving and compassionate, or healthier, stronger, and more skillful. OR it might
be for the benefit or a friend, a cause – or even yourself.

Do take time afterwards to think about what you did in class, so you can retain what you learned. Even if you remember just one
thing from the class, you’ll soon have a lot of information that can deepen your own personal practice.

Don’t eat for two or three hours before class. If you practice YOGA on a full stomach, you might experience cramps, nausea, or
vomiting, especially in twists, deep forward bends, and inversions. Digesting food also takes energy that can make you lethargic.

Don’t bring pagers or cell phones to class.

Don’t push it. Instead of trying to go as deeply or completely into a pose as others might be able to do, do what you can without
straining or injuring yourself. You’ll go further faster if you take a loving attitude toward yourself and work from where you are, not
from where you think you should be.

Don’t enter class late or leave early; it’s disruptive to others and disturbs the calmness and intentions of those around you.

Testimonials

I have discovered that at Tri-State Yoga, Regina provides a warm atmosphere where individuals can come; whatever their
needs and focuses are. She never looks at your limitations, but your attainable possibilities, so that you can set realistic
goals for yourself. In turn, this boosts one’s self-confidence and self-assurance allowing her students to “just be”
themselves. She also provides a risk-free environment where you can be yourself and feel empowered and confident at
whatever level you are at. This environment allows students to challenge themselves and explore their abilities to the next
level. The environment at Tri-State Yoga allows students to go deep inside themselves and explore their true inner beings
with acceptance of oneself. Yoga in its very nature means something different to each individual. So whether you want to
go to yoga to build physical strength or find inner peace, Regina at Tri-State Yoga will guide you and aid you in reaching
your goals; I know. . . .and I am speaking from experience.

I wanted to thank you for your help throughout the last 9 months. I feel I am a totally different person now because of yoga
and hypnobirthing, I even took the hynobirthing into the c-section with me...I was so scared and nervous and Aaron started
reading me the mother's promise and breathing with me as I was going in...so we may not have achieved the perfect
hypnobirth, but the techniques and training still helped me birth a healthy, happy baby at the end of the day. Thank you so
much for everything!
