What is yoga?The word "yoga" means to "yoke" or "unite". We use yoga to unite our breath and bodies, mind and spirit. Yoga is not just about the physical practice. There are actually 8 "limbs" of yoga, and the physical practice is just one of those. A physical yoga practice we connect the body to our movements and breath. This helps focus and relax the mind by directing attention inward. Yoga can improve strength, flexibilty, balance, posture as well helping you calm the mind and improve breath control.

Do I have to be in good shape or flexible before I start?Not at all! it is a misconception that people who practice yoga are super flexible and in great shape. Forget what you see on social media!

I have never tried yoga. Where do I start?Welcome! Yoga meets you where you are, meaning that no matter your skill level, you practice yoga! You don't have to be "bendy" or flexible and you don't need fancy leggings. We recommend that you take a look at the class descriptions and see what interests you. A great starting point is attending a gentle yoga class, where the pace is slower. Most of our classes are for mixed levels, which are generally fine for all. We offer variations to our yoga asanas (poses) for all levels for individual increased or decreased practice needs. We also recommend that you purchase a New Student Intro Pass for $45. This will give you three weeks of unlimited classes to see what fits your schedule and your needs. Wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, and if you don’t have a yoga mat, we have some you can borrow. Come with an open mind and listen to your body—you don’t have to do everything perfectly. Yoga is a personal journey, and starting is truly the most important step. Let your teacher know you are new—they’ll be happy to support you.

If you don't, please come a few minutes early to fill out some paperwork. It is also recommended that you register for classes online before you arrive, but this is also not required. When you sign up ahead of time, it guarantees you a spot in the class. This is typically not an issue unless it is a special event that fills up quickly (such as a sound bath). Signing up ahead of time also allows us to email students if there are any last minute changes to the schedule.

What do I do when I arrive for class?Come in through our back door. When you arrive, check in at the front desk. You will sign in each time you come on the sign in sheet at the check-in desk. If you signed up online you don't need to fill anything out when you come. However if you didn't sign up for an account online, you will need to do so when you arrive so come 10-15 minutes early. An instructor can show you around, help you get settled, and answer any questions. Take off your shoes and silence your phone before entering the practice space. We have cubbies for your belongings in the lobby. You can roll out your mat, grab any props you might need (like blocks or a strap), and take a few quiet moments to relax or stretch before class begins. Most importantly—make yourself comfortable and feel free to ask for help. We’re here to support you!
-
What should I bring to class?We recommend that you bring a yoga mat and a bottle of water. If you don't have a mat, we have mats to borrow at no cost or you can purchase one at the studio. We often use additional props such as yoga blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets and eye pillows, but we have those to borrow at the studio as well.
-
What do I wear to yoga class?When you come to yoga class, we recommend that you wear something that is comfortable to you. You don't have to wear leggings, although those are fine! Many people wear sweat pants and a t-shirt. Just come ready to stretch and move. We do ask that you remove your shoes and socks for class. Most people practice barefoot, but if you prefer, grippy yoga socks are a great option. Layers can be helpful too—especially for slower or restorative classes—so you can stay cozy during relaxation at the end. Just bring yourself in something you can move, stretch, and breathe in comfortably.
-
What if I arrive late to class?Ideally, it is best to arrive to the studio 5-10 minutes before the start of class. This will give you enough time to sign in, store your belongings and get your mat set up before we start. If you do arrive after class has started, please enter the studio quietly and find a place as not to disturb others. For the safety of our students and instructors, our policy is to lock doors five minutes after class has started.
-
What if I have an injury or health issue?We always recommend that if you have an injury or health issue that you discuss this with the instructor prior to starting class. The good news is that yoga can benefit people who have such issues and there are many modifications and accomodations that can be made to help you.
-
Are your instructors trained and certified in yoga?Yes! All of our instructors are professionally trained and certified in yoga at the 200 and some at the 500 hour level, and many have completed advanced trainings in specific modalities such as restorative yoga, trauma-informed yoga, Kundalini, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and more. Our team is passionate about continuing education and bringing a safe, supportive, and enriching experience to every class. You're in good hands with teachers who care deeply about their students and the practice of yoga.
-
How do I know if there is a last minute change to the schedule?In the rare event that One Soul needs to cancel a class due to weather or instructor ullness, we email everyone who has signed up ahead of time. We also send a group text to anyone who has opted in our Remind 101 group. Changes are also posted to our Facebook. To join our Remind 101 texts, please text @osyoga to the number 81010.

I have heard the words "savasana", "om" and "namaste'" used when talking about yoga. What do those words mean?"Savasana is the final resting pose you will find at the end of most yoga practice. Simply put, it's a 10-15 minute time of complete relaxation, sometimes in silence, other times the instructor will use guided meditation. OM is a mantra often used in yoga that represents the sacred sound of the Universe. When chanting the word "om" we are symbolically acknowledging our connection to our Greater Power, nature, the Universe and all other living beings. Namaste' is a Sanskrit greeting that means to "bow" and we often say "the light in me, honors the light in you". It simply means you are being seen and recognized for everything that you are.
