to practice yoga on an empty stomach, allowing 2-3 hours after
light meals and longer after heavy meals. A little water 30
minutes before class and no water during class to maintain
your cleansing and internal heat. Y

breathe and avoid holding your breath unless specifically instructed. Y
Those with
current or past injuries should speak with their physician
before practicing yoga. Advise

Relaxation
(savasana) typically lasts 5-10 minutes at the end of each
class. IF you must leave class
early, please lie down for a brief savasana on your own (this
is an integral part of every yoga session)
and then quietly gather your things and depart BEFORE group relaxation
begins.
