Information for New Students
Welcome to New Vibe Yoga!
Here are a few things you should know if you are a new student:
· Online Booking before arrival is highly suggested for all classes. Walk in’s will be welcomed if space permits.
· Our studio opens 15 minutes prior to class start time. No Late arrivals.
· Our studio closes 15 minutes after class end time. Please plan accordingly.
· When you arrive, please introduce yourself to the instructor and let him or her know if you have any injuries or conditions that might influence how you need to approach the practice. Also please inform the instructor if you wish not to receive physical touch during your practice.
· Leave your cellphone and water bottle in one of the cubbies. Silence and do not use cell phones in the studio.
There is a designated place to charge your cell phone if necessary with charging cables and USB ports.
· There are changing curtains and cubbies in the studio where you can leave your things, and a restroom available for your use. Please do not change your clothes in the restroom.
· We do not offer showers. Please shower before arriving to class.
· There are some differences between ashtanga yoga and other styles of yoga you may have practiced. Please do your best to follow the teacher’s instructions and please feel free to ask after class if you have questions about the practice. If the teacher suggests that you switch to a different class, please follow their suggestions - they are offered only for your benefit and safety.
· It is best to practice Ashtanga yoga on an empty stomach, so we recommend not eating for at least three hours before class. Please leave water bottles in the cubbies and do not drink during class. Our classes involve compressing the stomach and inverting the body so it is not recommended to ingest liquids during practice. It is also recommended not to eat for at least twenty minutes after finishing your practice, but you may drink water immediately after rest.
· While it is possible for students who have an established Ashtanga practice to modify their practice during pregnancy, it is not recommended for students who are pregnant to begin an Ashtanga practice until at least three months after giving birth. Please speak to the instructor should you be pregnant, are planning to get pregnant, or have just given birth. It is possible the instructor may advise you not to join the class - this is for your safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
I am a beginner student, what class should I attend?
Our 60min All Levels Class is perfect for beginners. The sequence of postures is always the same, offering students the ability to perfect their practice over time.
Do I need to know the Ashtanga sequence in order to come to class?
You do not need to know anything about Ashtanga or even have practiced yoga before to come to a class.
Do I need to bring my own mat?
No, we provide mats on site, although you are welcome to bring your own.
Do you have showers?
We do not offer showers and kindly ask that you shower before arriving to class.
I have been practicing Vinyasa Yoga, is Ashtanga right for me?
Ashtanga Yoga is a Vinyasa practice. Most contemporary Vinyasa classes are rooted in the Ashtanga System. If you currently enjoy the Vinyasa style, you will likely find Ashtanga appealing.
What form of Payment is Preferred?
We prefer classes to be booked and pre-paid online. You can do so by clicking here.
How many days a week should I practice?
This will depend on the student but it is ideal to practice a minimum of at least 3 days a week. Traditionally, Ashtanga Yoga is practiced 6 days a week, with one day for rest and no practice on moondays (full or new moon).
Should I eat before I practice?
It is best not to eat for at least 3 hours before practicing. If you are practicing in the morning, it is recommended to practice before eating breakfast. If you are practicing in the evening, it is recommended to eat a light lunch early in the day, and then abstain from eating between lunch and your practice. Also, in most circumstances, you should avoid drinking during your practice.
I am sick. Should I still practice?
IF YOU ARE SICK - DO NOT COME TO THE STUDIO - PRACTICE AT HOME BY YOURSELF OR WITH US ONLINE. Practicing at home while you are sick may help speed the recovery process. If you have a fever, though, it is usually recommended that you refrain from practice until your temperature has returned to normal.
