Information for Beginners
January 17, 2012
If you’re new to yoga, congratulations on taking the first step and visiting our website! We have many offerings for people who have never ever done yoga before, or who haven’t done it for a long time, or even for those who love yoga but like to keep their practice at a more beginner-level, moderate pace. Here are a few notes to make your first visit to our studio an enjoyable one:
Our class schedules can be found online via our Google Calendar application. Click here for Torbay Road schedule and here for Mount Pearl schedule.
All classes are drop in unless they specify “Pre-reg” in the title of the classes.
For drop in classes:
- please arrive at least 15 minutes early on your first visit. You’ll need to fill out a waiver form and purchase a pass. See our prices page for pass information. You can also purchase your passes online (from our Prices page) and skip the in-studio line up.
- come in quietly! In the evenings there’s most likely a class in session when you arrive (you’ll know there’s a class in session when our inside, French doors are closed). Our studio is small and sound really does travel! So as not to disturb the final relaxation of the class ahead of you please open the door gently, unzip your coat and boots quietly, and leave purchases and questions for once that class is over.
- bring a yoga mat if you have one. If not, we have rentals available for $2+tax.
- shoes can be left at the door and coats, bags, purses etc. should be left in the reception area of the studio. If you have valuables that you don’t want to part with it’s best not to bring them with you. At this time of the year our classes are quite busy and therefore there’s no extra room in the studio for personal belongings.
- if you have specific conditions or injuries please let the teacher know before the class starts
- for each consecutive visit please arrive at least 10 minutes early.
For Pre-Registered classes, such as Yoga 101, 6am Power Flow, and our Valentine’s Day Partner Yoga class, please see the pre-registered sessions page. You can register online or in studio for these special events.
We hope this information is helpful to you on your first visit to Shakti Yoga Studio. Those of us that have seen the profound benefits of yoga in our bodies and in our lives love to share this practice with others. We look forward to seeing you in class!
Namaste,
Meaghan, Bobby and The Shakti Yoga Studio Team
