In preparing for a yoga class please consider the following:

NOTE - all classes are currently done virtually using Zoom. Recordings are available for each class so there is no need for any makeups. Any members of your household can attend the live and/or recorded classes.

~ I currently ‘share computer audio’ on Zoom for music. Let me know if the sound is too loud or not loud enough.

~ New students - you will be asked to fill out a waiver form sent to you on email.

~ Payment is due prior to the first class in a session. I take cash, checks made out to Denise Smith or Yoga for You, or PayPal.

 ~  A yoga mat is strongly suggested to provide a supportive base as well as a non-slippery surface for the poses.  A towel or blanket can be used temporarily if you don’t have a mat.   An additional 1-2 towels/blankets are helpful for seated support and to cover during relaxation. 

~  If you are uncomfortable on the floor for any reason, use a chair.  Never strain in a pose or with breathing.  Yoga’s philosophy is to create a feeling of inner peace, so we practice ease and acceptance in all procedures. 

~  Online classes will open approximately 10 minutes before class to allow yourself time to transition and acclimate.  However, do not ever stress about being late; join the class even if it has started and you may leave at any time as it won’t disturb anyone. 

~  Wear comfortable, stretchy clothes.  No jeans, for example.  You won’t want to eat a big meal right before class.  Best to eat light 1 – 1.5 hours prior or a larger meal 2 or more hours before class. 

~  Generally speaking, it takes several weeks of classes to determine if yoga is for you.  Most people discontinue yoga due to feeling they aren’t doing it ‘right,’ not asking questions, and choosing to not follow the adaptations that would work for them.  True yoga is about becoming experts on our own conditions, needs, and tendencies and working with them, not trying to change them or look/move like someone else.  Always go with a more gentle approach until you see how it affects you.  If your questions are more in-depth please contact me outside of class.  

~ With online classes makeups are done with recordings. In general, session refunds are not given; however, if you are unable to continue online classes in a session due to an emergency situation contact me to discuss options prior to the end of the session.

~  If I need to cancel a class, I will contact students to announce changes and makeup options. 

~  If the cost of the classes is prohibitive, contact me to discuss other payment options including full and partial scholarships.
