Lalita on Yoga:

Yoga is the science of mastering the ability to project the mind in a constructive, decisive and meaningful direction. The cosmic life force (Prana) powers the mind. As we learn to direct the mind, we discover intimacy with that which sustains it.

DEC 10, 2012 TEACHING PRACTICE POINTERS:

Popular insight:

“Send breath to…(example) the back of the throat”

YogaRevolution insight:

Breath’s physical address is at the back of the throat. Yogic Breath is not something that can be sent anywhere, because it is EVERYWHERE. it is quantum, not physical.

New Student Guide

New Student Guide

Not sure where to begin? Contact us at Tel:(347)-345-6095 for personal guidance!

Before Class

Please try to show up 10 minutes before class. If you are running late, please call the studio to let us know (Tel:(347)-345-6095) so we don’t give your reserved spot to someone else.

Eating & Drinking Try not to eat right before class. In fact, try to eat a light meal 2-3 hours before class. We find that fruit works well since it digests quickly. Make sure you drink water before class.

What to Wear Wear light, dry-weave fabrics and non-restrictive clothing. The most common attire for women is shorts and a sport top or tank top. Men usually wear shorts. Some wear t-shirts in the beginning.

What to Bring Bring your mat, a towel long enough to cover your mat, and some water, all of which are available for rent at our front desk. You can rent a mat at the studio for $1.

What Class to Take

At Yoga Revolution, we like to emphasize that our classes are for ALL LEVELS (you just go at your own pace). That said, if you are brand-new to yoga, we suggest starting out with our Beginner’s Yoga classes. We also recommend taking any of our Intro classes or workshops when they are available.

If you would like more guidance, contact us! We would love to help you pick a class, give advice and listen to your feedback.

Listening to your body during practice

It is very important to keep yourself safe. It is your responsibility to pull out of a posture that does not feel right for your body. Our teachers are highly trained, and they do their best to keep everyone safe, but teachers cannot know everything that is going on in your body, nor can they feel what you feel. Pain is an indicator that you have gone too far. Please honor your body. If you need a rest, you may stop and rest. You are your own best teacher, heed your body’s warnings, and stop. The purpose of Yoga is to nourish and nurture; take care of you.

Is Yoga For Me?

Our Yoga Practice is invigorating and detoxifying–a lot of people compare it to receiving a massage. You will thank us when class is over!

Studio Etiquette

Shoes It is customary to remove your shoes when you enter a yoga studio. We provide shoe cubbies where you may leave your bag, shoes, clothing, etc. We cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen items.

Restrooms Try to take care of business before class, as it may interrupt fellow yogis if you leave during class. However, if you need to go during class, please do so quietly and respectfully. When re-entering the room, please wait until we are between postures so you don’t disrupt a fellow yogi’s balance.

Cell Phones Please respect your fellow yoga practitioners and the teachers and turn your cell phone off when you enter the studio. If you leave your bag out in the lobby, please double check to make sure your cell phone is turned off while you are practicing. If you need to be “on-call” please let the teacher know that you have your phone on vibrate and that it is in the room. If you receive a call, please take your phone out into the lobby area before you begin to speak.
