1. What clothing is appropriate for a class/private session?

 Any loose, stretchy, comfortable clothing is perfect.  Please avoid jeans or constricting, not stretch pants and shirts.  Sweats, leggings, biking shorts (no baggy shorts please), t-shirts, sweat shirts are all appropriate.  Layers are recommended as the room temperature can be variable.  PLEASE do not wear any scents, perfume, etc. as some students are allergic. Thanks.

2. What is the average size or your classes?

Generally, we limit our class size to 15 students. There are usually 5-10 students in attendance in any class.

3. What should I bring?

Soul Source Yoga provides wonderfully soft blankets, yoga straps, and blocks for your use.  Students sometimes prefer to bring a towel to put between themselves and their blanket.  This is not essential, just preferred by some.

4.  Do I have to be flexible  or "in shape" to participate?

No! Bodies of all shapes, sizes and levels of "fitness" are welcomed in class.  Participation in class will increase your flexibility, strength, and awareness.  Svaroopa Yoga is non-competitive.  Props are used to make each pose comfortable and accessible to all students.  In some cases, an alternate pose will be recommended if a particular pose and a particular student are not a good match. 

5.  Why is taking a full series of classes recommended?

Students will get the most from their participation in class if they come on a regular basis.  Like most things in life, the more you practice, the more benefits you reap.  Attending class regularly maximizes your body/mind's understanding of what you learn in class facilitating the utilization of the information and instruction being offered.  "Drop in" attendance is available if a class is not filled but generally not recommended.  Contact the teacher of the class you wish to attend to find out if there is room for "drop in" in a given class. For more "policy" information, see the Classes page of this site.

6. Can I take a different class each week?

Teachers can serve students best if they attend class on a regular basis with them.  The teacher gets to know the student by seeing how the student does with the poses and can therefore better assist the  them in a better understanding of the yoga in their bodies and minds.

7.  What if my schedule changes and I cannot attend the same class every week?

If your schedule varies or you travel for work, the best thing to do is to determine which 2 classes during the week you are most likely to attend and purchase a half series with each of 2 teachers. That way you can flip between the  two classes during the series.  Another option is paying the "drop in" price and paying weekly ($18).  In the above scenario, if you had to make up a missed class in 3rd class time once or twice in a 12 week series that is ok. Generally, if you think you are going to miss more than 2 classes due to travel or otherwise, it is more economical to pay on a week to week basis.

8. What if I like the commitment aspect and convenience of purchasing an entire series but will miss classes during a series?

Students may make up in any other class on the schedule if you must miss your regular class.

If you know you will miss some in the series you can choose to pay for the classes you will be attending in the series, at the rate of $18 per class, in advance. If you often need to come to different class day/times each week, then it is best to pay per class when you come.
