Practice Well

Tip #1: Arrive Early

• Doors open no earlier than 15 mins to avoid lobby time.
• Doors close 5 mins SHARP before class starts
• Quickly place your things and settle yourself in the room so you can acclimate yourself to the temperature. 
• It is recommended to relax in the room 10 mins before class. 
• Be still and calm yourself
  

 Tip #2: Listen to your instructor

• Give complete respect to your instructor to get the meditational benefits of class.
  

  Tip #3:  Slow your breathing

• Slow your breathing to slow your heart rate
• We use mask on for first and last breathing exercise since you have to open your mouth
• If you find yourself panting during class, just sit down and gather your breadth
• The entire class is essentially a 90 minute breathing exercise --focus on breadth

Tip #4:  Do your best

• This isn't a competition or battle of egos with students next to you. The 90 minutes are all about your practice and your comfort.
  

  Tip #5:  Bring Your Own Mat & TWO Towels

• You will need a towel to use in the room to cover your mat. 
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: make sure you have a second towel to dry off or at least cover your upper back, neck, head when you leave
• Take a shower as soon as you can to avoid getting sick from the cold

  Tip #6:  Eat and Hydrate after!

• It is extremely important to replenish the nutrients and electrolytes lost during class.
  

  Tip #7:  Don't stop!

• It can be hard to go back for a second class within 3 days but try! You will receive maximum benefits from the second class and you will find the second class much easier to complete. Make it your 7 day challenge the first week!
