What to Expect in Class
You will do a variety of yoga poses, or Asanas, to stretch the various parts of your body. You will also do some breathing exercises, or Pranayama, (and can Meditate if you wish).
Tom will give the class general instructions about a pose. He may also give you individual instructions. And he, or his assistant, may physically adjust your body while you are in the pose, to help you better understand the actions and movements of the pose.
What’s the most important thing to remember?
That you are in charge of your body. Not the teacher. Do what your body tells you to. Do what you feel safe doing.
What do I need to bring?
Two bare feet.
What should I wear?
Tee shirts and shorts, or other comfortable clothes, are the usual attire.
Can I eat before class?
Try not to eat at least an hour before class.
Does Tom teach any particular style of yoga?
Yes and no. His class is “Iyengar-based,” but he teaches aspects of many styles.
Is there any religious content in Tom’s classes?
No. His classes can be (and are) comfortably taken by students of various religions and by students who are not religious. Although yoga had its origins in Indian cultural and spiritual traditions, yoga is not a religion but a universal path to wholeness and well-being.
