A Few Things to Keep in Mind during Class BREATHE in and out through your nose continually throughout the class. Rarely will we “hold” or retain our breath. Keep breathing!
If you experience pain, stop what you are doing and tell the group leader.
Allow your body to fully experience each pose within your own ability … your body is unique and requires your full attention.
Alignment that supports your joints is the most important thing … take your time to achieve flexibility. Always work within your own comfort. You may find that you require particular equipment such as a cushion, yoga tie or a towel. If you find that you benefit from such modifications, please bring these to class each week.
