Things to Know

Are you new to yoga? It’s helpful to know a few things to help you get started. Understanding basic yoga etiquette will help you get a good start and feel comfortable when you attend classes. Here are a few tips.

1. Remove shoes – Many studios will have space near the door or entranceway to leave your shoes. Do not put shoes on your yoga mat. Yoga is practiced in bare feet, so take off your socks, too.
2. Turn off or silence your cell phone and iWatch – This is a good time to take a break from your phone and your watch. Simply “unplug” for some time for you.
3. Place personal items in the cubbies provided.
4. Arrive 10-15 minutes before class time – This allows plenty of time to settle in, get centered, and prepare for practice. Unroll your mat quietly, so as not to disturb students who are already there and respect the mood of the room.
5. Respect the teacher’s sequencing – Don’t do your own routine or enter into postures that aren’t part of what’s being cued in the class. Let your teacher know about any injuries or conditions that might affect your practice or require variations.
6. Honor your limits – For your safety, as well as respect for the teacher and other students, do not go to a class that is beyond your current level. Never force to hold or attain a pose.
7. Practice cleanliness – Apply the yogic principle of saucha, which means “cleanliness” or “purity.” Personal hygiene is an integral part of practicing yoga.
8. Put props away neatly – If you’ve used studio props, place them back the way you found them. Fold your blanket neatly. If you borrowed a mat from the studio, wipe it down before replacing it.
9. Don’t skip savasana – The final relaxation pose, “Savasana” (shah-VAHS-uh-nuh) in Sanskrit, is vital to your practice. It’s a time for stillness and deep rest that lets your body fully receive the benefits of yoga. If you absolutely must leave early, let your teacher know prior to class and stop your practice in time to take a short savasana before you leave.
