What do I need to bring? Is there any etiquette I should know about?
Bring an open heart and mind, and comfortable clothes you can stretch in.
Bring a yoga mat if you have one. If you don’t own a mat, we have mats, along with blocks and straps, for sale in the Dhira Yoga Shop.
Preregister for classes online. There are no drop ins. Enrollment is limited. If you are new to Dhira, please try to arrive to class a few minutes before the start time, so that you have time to get settled in at the Studio and get acquainted with the space.
Please enter the yoga studio mindfully, quietly and with respect to other students and their space. If you need to leave class to use the facilities, please do so in the same manner. During the pandemic, you must wear a mask whenever you leave your socially distanced mat in the studio. If you need to leave class early, please inform the teacher in advance and set up your mat close to the door to minimize disruption to the class.
Shoes are left outside the studio space in the entry area. Turn off cell phones. Valuables may be brought into the studio with you.
If practicing at home, livestreaming our classes, please register online at least fifteen minutes before class starts so that you will be assured of getting an emailed Zoom link before the class starts. There are no guaranties of receiving the link if you sign up at the last minute to livestream at home.
Who is yoga for?
Everyone! Under the age of sixteen needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
“But I’m not flexible.” “I’m stressed. I can’t relax.” “I’m not strong enough to do that.”
Perfect! These are all great reasons to begin a yoga practice. Yoga increases your flexibility, strength, and, with consistent practice, brings many other gifts, including increased focus and peace.
What if I have an injury or recently had surgery? Is yoga for me?
Yoga is for everyone. Many students come to yoga specifically to address injuries, and joint and muscle limitations resulting from surgeries. With appropriate modifications, students can benefit and heal more quickly with the aid of a yoga practice. Make certain to let your teacher know about any issues or concerns you have before class begins. Modifications, including the use of props, will be made for you. Certain classes on the schedule may work better than others for those with more serious injuries or limitations. Please email info@DhiraYogaCenter.com or call 413-998-3463 for any further questions you may have about limitations due to injuries.
