Frequently Asked Questions

When does the studio open?

The studio opens 10 minutes before the class start time.

–

What if I am running late for class?

Please be at least 2-minutes early, not 2-minutes late. The studio door will be locked class start time. We don’t have staff waiting at the door to let in late students and being late disrupts other students who arrived on time (especially in our meditation/Yin Yoga classes). Not having extra staff waiting at the door for late people is also how we are able to keep our prices low post-pandemic and with inflation. Some teacher may try to wait 1-2 minutes if a student has not checked in, but there is no guarantee you will be able to get into the class if you are late.

–

Is there Parking?

Free street parking is available on Leavitt Street (just west of the studio) or West LeMoyne Street (just south of the studio). There is also plenty of paid street parking on North Ave. There is a also an unpaved lot in the ally, 2 lots west of the studio in the lot next to JCYS childcare school that is okay to park in too.

is baptiste Power flow yoga the same as "hot yoga"?  

No. Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga, "Power Flow" is a powerful energetic form of Yoga where students fluidly move from one pose to the next while connecting their breath to the movement. Baptiste Yoga™ was founded in the 1940s by Baron Baptiste and his father Walt Baptiste. The physical components of Baptiste Yoga™ style are informed by the classical Hatha Yoga teachings of Krishnamacharya and his students Iyengar and Desikachar. While you will build strength and flexibility, you will also cleanse your mind and create awareness. 

The Baptiste Power Flow practice is designed to be real, powerful and possible, empowering participants to awaken to their highest potential and new possibilities that await them on and off their mat.

–

Do you offer prenatal yoga classes? 

We do not offer a specific class called prenatal yoga. Instead, we suggest expectant mothers try our “Yin Flow” gentle vinyasa class taught by teachers who are trained in prenatal yoga and have experience in modifying poses and developing safe sequences specifically for your body and your stage of pregnancy. Another option, especially if you are new to yoga is our restful “Yin Yoga” and "Yoga Nidra & Meditation" class. All our our classes are adaptable to embrace your specific needs. Just check-in with the teacher and let them know your personal situation, and you will find a supportive practice appropriate for expectant mothers at any stage of pregnancy.  

–

I’m not flexible. Can I do yoga?  

Yes! You are a perfect candidate for yoga. You do not need to be flexible to begin yoga, just as you don’t need to know how to learn to swim to take swimming lessons. Come as you are and you will find that yoga practice will help you become more flexible. 

–

How should I prepare for class? 

Wear light, comfortable clothes. Be well-hydrated before class. It is best not to eat before class, so can practice on a light stomach.

–

What should I bring? 

Bring a mat, towel and bottle of water. You can also rent them from us. First time to the yoga studio we offer a free mat and towel rental. Future mat rentals are $1.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not heating the rooms higher than 85 degrees. The temperature of the yoga rooms depend on the class you are taking.  They range from room temperature to 95 degrees.  Please look at individual class descriptions to see the temperature of the room for that class.
