What do I need to know…

Wait at least 2 hours from your last meal before you practice.
We arrive at least 10-15 minutes before each lesson. Late admission disturbs the balance of other practitioners.
Remove your shoes at the entrance, keep your voice low and switch off or lower your mobile phones.
Relaxation and calmness are the result of various factors.
We wear comfortable and loose clothes.
In Mysore courses enter and leave the studio with due respect to the rest of the practitioners who have already started or who are still practising.
Avoid intense aromas, after shave, strong deodorants because during the practice they are boosted from the heat and are likely to create a problem in the breathing of other trainees.
Also moisturizing creams and lotions create slipperiness on the mat, making it difficult to practice.
In the led classes, do not leave studio during relaxation because you will disrupt the calmness and relaxation of your classmates. If, however, there is a serious reason to leave, inform the instructor at the beginning of the course.
Inform us if health issues that have arisen other than what you have already mentioned in your registration form.
Keep your course schedule steady so you can get more benefits out of it.
Distance yourself from everyday activities so you can focus internally.
Breathe deeply, let the breath deepen the asana experience.
Respect your body’s limits in every asana – be conscious of the point that you can stay firmly breathing deep.
Proceed with patience, understanding and awareness – our limits can change during practice and from lesson to lesson.
Find the balance and the sense of ease/comfort of every asana.
Awareness of breathing, awareness of thoughts and feelings during practice. If the mind wonders, we bring it back to our practice.

What I don’t need to do…

Force yourself into an asana.
Worry if you perform the asana perfectly, especially if you are a beginner.
Being critical of yourself.
Hurrying between asana.
Compare yourself with others.
