Is it okay to eat before practicing yoga?

This varies from person to person. We do not recommend that you eat anything heavy 2 hours before taking a class. It can be uncomfortable to practice yoga with a stomach full of food.

What if I'm not flexible?

This is the most common misconception about yoga that prevents people from coming to class. It is not how flexible you are, it's about the attitude that you bring to class. Go to your personal edge, challenge yourself and you will get 100% benefit.

Why is the room heated?

The room is intentionally heated to approximately 40 degrees to warm up the body and assist with circulation, promoting detoxification and providing optimum conditions to improve the functions of the body's internal systems. The heat provides a challenging environment which increases your strength, concentration, endurance and stamina. It also allows you to work safely and deeply into the postures, giving faster results.

Can I lose weight?
