Your Yoga Practice
At our studio, we believe that yoga is a journey, and every person’s journey is unique. While some postures may come easily to you, others may take time to develop. It’s important to listen to your body and not expect to master everything at once.
During class, if you need to rest, it’s perfectly okay to do so. Always listen to your body and never push into pain. Instead, feel free to take child’s pose, kneel, or lie down on your mat until you feel ready to re-join the class
