Before, During and After

Before Class

• •  Please choose functional, comfortable attire that allows you to move easily --- stretch, bend, twist, and do inversions; e.g. a T-shirt and long pants. 

  • Yoga is ideally done barefoot.

  • Bring an exercise mat. You might also find it useful to bring a small hand towel and a water bottle.

  • Please do not consume heavy meals close to the start of the class --- if unavoidable, they should be consumed at least 3 hrs before class time. However, very light snacks or liquids may be consumed 60 minutes before class time. 

  •  Please put your cell phone on silent mode.

  • You should not exercise if you are feeling unwell. On those days you may rest at the back of the class, engaging in relaxation exercises. 

  • Do inform the instructor before class of any injuries, illness, recent surgery, or serious health problems (e.g. high blood pressure or herniated disc), or if you are feeling unwell (headache, fever, etc).

  • If you are recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery, you should first get a doctor's permission to exercise.

  • Yoga, when practiced with awareness, is generally beneficial. However, as with any new physical activity, there is a small possibility that some participants, despite the best of intentions, might experience some adverse effects. Although such possibilities are not likely in general, we wish you, the participant, to acknowledge this advisory.

  • In particular, you, the participant, kindly agree to take responsibility for your health, and you further agree that neither Simplicityoga nor any of its instructors are in any way, directly or indirectly,  responsible or liable for any adverse effects that you might experience, due to your Yoga practice.
