For Online CLASSES and WORKSHOPS some Helpful Tips for Practice:
You will need a device (computer, tablet or phone) with wifi to connect to our Zoom class link.
We start class promptly at the scheduled time. It is a good practice to Login 5 -10 minutes before our start time to set-up and to check in with your teacher.
PROPS:
It is helpful to have a YOGA MAT but you can also use a towel or rug to practice on.
We will use a SPOT AT THE WALL for some of our classes. This simply needs to be a place at the wall where you can lie on the floor and put your legs up the wall. Sometimes we will stand at the wall with hands on the wall, so if you have a clear space without artwork hanging on the wall, that would be ideal. You can also use a door as your wall space.
We will use a BOLSTER or pillows or even a rolled up blanket or towel in our practice most days. Our preferred bolster is about 8 inches in diameter and about 30 inches long, however we want to work with a variety of different pillows and cushions as we see what will work best for your body. So before you go out and buy a bolster, gather what you can from what you already have at home and we'll explore the variety and figure out what will work best for you.
We will often use a STRAP in our practice. Strapwork is an important component of many of our sequences. Your strap can be a typical yoga strap, a belt or dog leash or scarf. As long as it is not elastic, the material is not important but it should be 5-6 feet long or so.
Occasionally, we will use a BLOCK. This can be a typical yoga block made of foam or wood, or it can be a few books.
A CHAIR is also used as a prop occasionally. Look for a chair that you already have. The chair should NOT have wheels and it is nice if it does not have arms... maybe a folding chair or dining chair.
In our approach to yoga, the instructor rarely demonstrates but rather relies on verbal cueing to direct the students through the sequences. So it is more important that your teacher can see you on your mat than it is for you to see them on the screen. Camera placement is a key in our ability to see and effectively cue for each individual in class.
Here are some tips here for you about camera placement, sound and clothing. The more completely that you can be seen, the better we can take care of each of you.
1. CAMERA:
For our live Yoga classes, if possible, place the camera about 6 feet away and at least 3 feet high off the floor, in a way that shows all of your mat and body as you move through the classes.
2. CLOTHES:
If possible, wear clothes that contrast with the color of your mat and that are not too dark or loose-fitting. It is also helpful if your top and bottom are contrasting colors. This will make it easier for me to observe you during practice.
The idea is for your body to be seen in the clearest possible way. What the teacher is able to see is extremely important as it informs cueing and teaching.
Wear clothes that allow you to move and that will keep you warm.
3. SOUND and LIGHT:
You need to be able to hear the cues as your teacher guides you through the classes so make sure your speaker is at a good volume. Your space should be well lit so that you are visible.
4. PROPS:
Have all of your props within reach.
5. MUTE/UNMUTE:
All students will be muted after our check in time at the beginning of class.
When prompted as you sign on to Zoom, please grant permission for the host to unmute you so that we can easily communicate during class.
You are always welcome to unmute yourself when you have questions or need specific guidance.
If you have granted permission for the host to unmute you, then you need only wave at the camera and your teacher will be able to unmute you without you having to leave your mat.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN-Person CLASSES and WORKSHOPS
- Mats and props are available or you are welcome to bring your own mat and any other props you like to use.
- Space is limited so you are required to pre-register to reserve your space. Walk-ins are only accepted if space permits.
VIDEO LIBRARY
- Our Video Libraries are available by subscription. See pricing page for more information.
