HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR YOGA CLASS

0. Wear loose clothing, you should feel comfortable throughout the class
0. Bring a blanket, cushion or quilt with you for relaxation if you like
0. Practice asana with bare feet. This is not only for safety but allows your toes and the muscles in your feet to move freely. Bring socks for relaxation
0. Avoid a main meal within 3 hours before a class or a snack within 2 hours
0. Drink water/herbal tea 2 hours before a class and sip water during the class if thirsty, especially in hot weather
0. Alcohol should be avoided completely on the day of a class
0. It is advisable to use a yoga mat especially on hard floors for comfort and safety. You may be able to borrow one in class, but please bring a towel to cover the mat for hygiene
0. Be on time. You will be able to relax more easily and make the most of your yoga time. It's only fair not to disturb others by being late
0. If you are menstruating and in the first 3 days of your cycle, avoid inversions. This is where the hips are higher than chest level. It is not dangerous but can make your period heavier for a while                             
0. You will be asked to complete a health form on enrolment. Please advise your teacher before subsequent classes if your health changes or since your last class you:-

a. feel/have felt unwell
