Hatha yoga class attendance guide
 Hatha
yoga - the physical exercises which stretch, strengthen and balance one's body
and being.
Typically my Kaiapoi classes start with a short meditation followed by gentle
warm up exercises before attempting any stronger exercise followed by a warm
down and a 10 min relaxation.
Safety
If you have any injuries or health problems you are aware of including
pregnancy, please advise the teacher before class as some exercises may be
unsafe for your condition.
Some exercises may cause a little discomfort if you overstretch. A good way to avoid over stretching. is to have a scale on 1 to 10 where
1 is no feeling and 10 is pain. So in practice you stretch in the 3 - 7 range on
your comfort scale.
To bring (if not provided)
A yoga mat and a good sized blanket, or two good sized blankets.
A blanket serves a pillow or cushion and is essential to cover you up during the
relaxation at the end of the class.
A water bottle.
To wear
Any comfortable clothing, a tee shirt and track pants or shorts, or something
stretchy as a form fitting leotard. Ladies please note; a poorly fitting or to tight a bra worn while stretching can damage
your breasts accelerating sag so if you wear a bra, please ensure it is comfortable and allows
you to stretch comfortably.
 Punctuality
It is good to arrive and get settled a few minutes before the class is due to
begin, but if you do come late and it is sometimes unavoidable, simply enter and
take your place in the class with as little fuss as possible.
In Class
Do your best to follow the instructions and listen to your body, enjoy the exercises,
some will be easy, others challenging. If you experience any problems, just call
out & ask in class, or bring your question 5 mins before class. Sometimes the
class may work on some exercises in pairs or groups which makes the class more social and
interesting fun.
