What To Take to Your Yoga Class
You
will be best equipped if you:
- Wear loose comfortable clothing, avoiding
heavy/ inflexible waistbands. Leotards are practical, but most
students wear a T-shirt, tracksuit top and bottoms or shorts that don’t
gape at the leg.
- Use a non-slip mat (a sticky mat).
Exercise mats can be too small, too soft, too slippery and are often noisy!
- Have a block to sit on, etc. Blocks are
useful in some postures. These are special yoga blocks made from hard
foam or a lightweight modern material.
- Have a belt for shoulder and leg work.
(Special yoga belts made from cotton are best)
- Have a rug to cushion your knees and hips
in some postures and to cover you in relaxation.
- Warm socks are optional for use during
relaxation or meditation after your class. Yoga is done with bare feet
- to allow the feet and toes to move and to avoid slipping and injuring
yourself.
- A bottle of water is always a good idea.
How
to prepare yourself:
- Don’t skip class because you’re tired
– you will be glad you made the effort to turn up!
- Allow at least an hour after a light meal,
or 2 hours after a heavy meal.
- Wash hands and face prior to
class.
- Wear clean clothes.
- Eliminate from the bladder and bowels.
- Come with a mind as free as possible from
your every day work or family concerns - if you refresh your body and mind,
you will be able to manage your problems more effectively.

Stress
and Aging
Our
bodies were designed for short-term stress responses. The longer the stress
response, the greater the risk to our health.
Balance
and Exercise
Just as we exercise a muscle to strengthen it, we
can strengthen our sense of balance.
Don't
Sit So Much!
Did you exercise today? There is one truth for
everyone with a body, man or woman, "Use it or lose it."
You
Are What You Eat
Getting the nutrients you need makes a difference
in how you feel now, and how your body wears for tomorrow.
