Before class
  1. Doors open 30 minutes before class.
  2. First time students arrive to class at least 20 minutes in advance.
  3. Don’t be late; front door will be locked during class.
  4. Come to class on an empty stomach and well hydrated. Drink at least a gallon of water during the 24 hours before your first class. Stop eating at least 3 hours before your arrival.
  5. Bring a yoga mat, beach towel and water bottle. Or you can rent or buy any of these items at the studio. We have special Bikram mats, so you don't need a towel! Check them out before buying a regular mat elsewhere!
  6. If you plan to shower after the class, please bring a towel, or you can rent one from us.
  7. New students must fill out a release form. Allow an extra 15 minutes for this. Or if you prefer, the form can be printed at home, filled out and brought with you. Click here to open the printable version of the release form. (The form is in .pdf format and requires Adobe Reader)
  8. Do not wear perfumes, lotions or creams. This is because the first can bother other people in the class around you, and the latter two will make your skin too slippery.
  9. This is a cell phone and pager free environment.
  10. Do not wear any jewelry in class.
  11. No shoes or socks in yoga room.
  12. Women: Wear leotards or shorts, and sports bras.
