On line classes  FAQ

How can I practice online?

The Pandemic  has forced us to temporarily close our  studio, so we’ve moved our practice online!

How do I prepare for a Live Stream  Class?

​

Set up your yoga mat just in front of the computer, and make sure to position your camera so that the teacher can see your practice.

Keep a bottle of water and a hand towel nearby. We recommend NOT eating a full meal at least 2 hours before class. If you are hungry, a light snack such as half a fruit or energy bar is a good idea.

Though the heat is not necessary to enjoy the benefits of the practice, the Original 26+2 Hot Yoga Series was designed to be done at 105°F. For those who wish to replicate the conditions of a heated studio, read our Blog Post on the subject. Also remember that summer is the perfect time to take your practice outside. Protect yourself with plenty of sunscreen, but then take advantage of the powerful midday sun.

Finally, stay hydrated throughout the day — that means before, during, and after class.

 

Do I have to turn my camera on during  class?

​

You do not have to share your camera with the instructor. Please be sure to turn your microphone off during class to ensure there is no disruption. If you wish to have corrections and/or feedback from your instructor, feel free to leave the camera on. Be sure to allow ample distance from you and your device so the instructor may see your entire body.

Note: We can not guarantee that you will be given feedback by your instructor.

​

When do I get the  stream class link (zoom)?

​

Please enroll in a live class no later than 30 min BEFORE class starts to give us enough time to text you the link. Make sure you have updated your Mindbody online profile with your latest mobile number. You will receive your zoom link through text. NO emails.

If you are signing up within the hour of class, you should get the access link immediately following your reservation confirmation.
