New UUA Students on Wednesdays

(Please also read my previous post for UUA Students.)

Welcome to Yoga at the UUA! Below are a few helpful tips for making your experience more enjoyable and productive in class:

1) Wear comfortable clothes that will allow you to move freely. Avoid wearing baggy clothes (too loose-fitting) and jeans (too constricting).

2) Ideally, every student should have a yoga mat, block, and belt. Yoga mats are most important to have. Two phonebooks can replace the block. As for the belt, it's probably best to get a real yoga belt. If you email me by Wednesday, 2/28/07, 9am, I can pick up these props for you if you don't own them or if you just lack the time to get them.

3) Yoga is practiced in bare feet. Be prepared to take off your socks.

4) Some students sweat a little. You're welcome to bring a towel and water.

For those of you who are brand new to yoga and/or who are a little "apprehensive" about your first experience, no worries! I'm starting everyone on the same page. In addition, poses will be modified for any of you who have physical limitations.

That's about it for now. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow!
