Do I need to be flexible to begin?+
No. This is the most common question and the answer never changes: stiffness is not a barrier, it is the starting material. The props exist precisely so that a stiff body can practice the correct shape from the first class. If you can breathe, you can begin.
What should I wear and bring?+
Wear fitted, stretchy clothing so your teacher can see your knees and spine — loose shirts hide the very things we need to correct. Bare feet, always. Bring nothing else on your first visit; the studio provides every prop. Practice on a relatively empty stomach, ideally two to three hours after a meal.
I have an injury. Can I still practice?+
Very often, yes — therapeutic application is one of the strengths of this method. Arrive early and tell your teacher exactly what is going on; they will adapt postures with props or give you alternatives. For acute or complex conditions, call ahead so we can place you in the right class.
Can I practice online?+
Yes. Many weekly classes are taught hybrid — in the studio and on live stream at once. And classes are recorded to our on-demand library, so you can practice any session on your own time. You will need a mat, two blocks, a strap and a blanket at home to follow along fully.
How often should I come?+
Twice a week is the honest minimum for the practice to take hold; three times is where real change begins. Come once and you have tried a class. Come for three months and you will feel the difference. Consistency matters more than intensity — the method rewards the student who shows up.
How do I start?+
Begin with a Foundations class — check the weekly schedule and simply arrive fifteen minutes early. Introduce yourself to the teacher, mention any injuries, and borrow the props you need from the wall. After class, ask the teacher what to take next. There is no membership pitch; there is only the next class.
