1. Choose a class that sounds appropriate for where your body and mind are at right now: Maybe you feel like something relaxing or maybe more of a physical workout. Take a look at our class menu & choose a time that you know you can commit to being there for the whole class.
2. Be Comfortable. Come along in clothing that’s comfortable for you eg if a t. shirt and shorts/track pants are comfy – then that will be perfect; if you’re a cyclist, and you’re arriving on your bike, – great your cycle gear is perfect …just not the mud! ; if you’ve run here – running gear is perfect ; if you have gym gear or yoga gear, that’s perfect too. Just remember to check what the temperature of the class you’ve chosen is, so you can be comfortable.
3. Bring a yoga mat or hire a studio mat for $2.
4. Bring a water bottle to hydrate or buy some s p a c e water for $4.
5. Arrive early – 20 mins is great, so that you can meet your teacher at reception, sign in without rushing, find your complimentary locker for your phone, valuables & clothes, explore a little and then enter the yoga studio.
6. You have arrived. Enjoy the view. Enjoy that this studio is a special space for you & others. No need to talk in this silent space. Just begin to hear birds, see clouds, feel a little breeze.
7. Notice if your teacher’s mat, visible at the front of the room, has a block or bolster or a strap on it ; That’s a hint to gather those props from the back of the room too. You’ll see them easily, waiting there for you.
8. When your teacher begins the class, know that you can always rest more & do less than they might suggest. Your teacher wants you to listen to your body and choose what’s best for you; Resting on your back, for the whole class, might just be your perfect class today. You’re allowed.
9. After class you might like to chat with your teacher at reception, and tell them about your experience of Space.
