What do I bring to yoga?
An open mind! +
Mat-  a yoga non-skid mat, ¼ or 1/8” mat is best. Thick foamy mats are not great for balance or standing postures. The studio has mats to borrow or purchase.
Water- not ice cold, espscially for Hot Yoga; our core temperature gets up and cold water may cramp the stomach or cause the body to work harder to get the water back up to body temp
Towel; small you will SWEAT! Ahhhhh!
Blocks, Strap (these may be borrowed or purchased from studio)

Gratuity Based or ‘Love Donation’ based yoga is a service offered for clients that may need to pay as you go, or cannot budget a regular studio membership due to finances, loss of a job or lack of time. These classes are offered as a service to the community and are in addition to the regularly scheduled classes on the calendar. This service is based on the suggested drop in rate of a $12 donation. If you are already a member you may attend these classes. Your gratuity is much appreciated by the teacher, who is volunteering their time to teach this class.

Ok so yoga is mostly for girls, right?

Actually, yoga is for everyone!
You will find all ages, ability levels, men, women, teens and baby boomers in classes at Dynamic Yoga 4 Love Studio. We have a staff of qualified instructors that teach to YOU, so you can find your perfect pose in YOUR body on your mat. Yoga is a personal practice and our team will assist you every step of the way in your goals and dreams. Yoga started with men thousands of years ago.

What about getting cardio, you can’t get your heart rate up in  yoga, right?

The asana is the yoga pose. You will be led through a flowing series of poses linked together in a sequence with focus on the breath. During a Vinyasa practice you will find much of the class moving on the mat one breath per pose. This will raise your heart rate and burn a lot of calories. Also, many of the poses that are held have many options and modifications. If you choose to find your edge and take your pose to the best of your ability that day, then you will get your heart rate up as much as if you just ran a mile!
We also offer Zumba  classes for the days when you want to come and have a great time dancing, plus burn a bunch of calories!

So, yoga is just standing or sitting on a mat, breathing?

In the West yoga is seen as solely a fitness program, but actually the asana (poses) are just one of the eight branches of a full yoga practice. Breath work, or Pranayama is another of the branches of yoga, and an integral part of many of our yoga classes at Dynamic Yoga 4 Love.

I don’t even know how to dance. How can Zumba help me?

Just getting moving and doing something for yourself is essential for your mental health and physical stress relief. You will find a wonderful encouraging comunity at Dynamic Yoga 4 Love Studio of teachers and other students and members. Even if you move a little it is still an improvement! And you don’t have to know the routine. All the sequences are very repetitive and the instructors will break it down for the class. There are always beginners in every Zumba class. It is all about joining the party, moving and having a great time doing it!

So how can I lose weight in yoga, don’t you just sit there and meditate?

No, yoga is a practice of moving the body and also focusing. The types of yoga offered at Dynamic Yoga 4 Love are Hatha and Vinyasa and Baptiste. All of these yoga classes are designed for strength, relaxation, balance, detoxification, sweating and having fun. We also teach to a great play list of music!

I’m so stressed. Do you have mediation classes? I can’t seem to get my mind to stop!

We do offer meditation; this is a separate class entirely from the yoga schedule. Learning to meditate is a practice. We offer guided meditation classes and also do have some guided meditation at the end of Lisa’s yoga classes, too. You will immediately feel relief. With a daily practice of just 3-5 minutes, there are researched and proven long term health benefits including lower blood pressure, less disease, more thoughts of joy, peace and learning to live in the present moment. Simply breathe, feel and let go are some of the greatest techniques you can learn for your mind/ body/ spirit connection.

Dude, don’t I have to get in shape so I can start doing yoga?

If you start doing yoga you WILL get in shape!!! To start exactly where you’re today. The great thing is about Yoga is it’s a gradual and permanent change your body, as well as a lifestyle.
