NEW TO YOGA

 

WHAT TO WEAR

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move and sweat in: leggings, lightweight loose pants, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, lightweight long sleeve tops. For most classes, there is no need to wear socks as you will have a hard time gripping the mat with your feet. For Restorative classes where you are holding supported poses for longer periods of time, wearing clothing that is comfortable like you would wear for a cozy nap, including socks, is recommended.

RECOMMENDED CLASSES

At Gaia Yoga, all of our classes are considered All Levels and instructors always ensure to cue and offer modifications and progressions for beginner students. That being said, often times beginner students are most comfortable starting in our Gentle Flow classes in order to start learning the poses. If you are already an active and relatively mobile individual, you may find the Hatha and Vinyasa classes easy to jump into as well. Please feel free to give us a call to talk about your specific needs! 

INJURIES

Yoga can be a wonderful and supportive way to move while recovering from an injury. In general, the Gentle Flow and Restorative classes are the best options when healing from an injury. Be sure to consult with your physician about physical activity if you are recovering from a major illness, injury, or surgery.
