Guidelines for Practicing Online or in person with myself, including retreats:

  • Do not eat or drink at least two hours before you practice.

  • Shower or bathe before you practice - maintain the niyama of śauca: cleanliness. Highly recommend showering with cold water before you begin your yoga practice. Please clean your mat and wear clean practice clothes. Wash your practice rug after using it.

  • Women, please do not come on the first four days of your period - this is also called ‘Ladies Holiday’. It is not recommended to invert the body while the natural monthly rhythm is in a downward flow. To modify your practice during the holiday, contact me and I’ll offer you an alternative hatha yoga practice.

  • Please use soft voices when entering the studio.

  • Be punctual, come prepared. Bring your own small towel and mat to class.

  • The first time you practice with me - especially if you already have an established practice - please practice the primary series of ashtanga yoga so that I can help you with your foundations.

  • If you do not want to be adjusted, please let me know.

  • Alcohol and drugs are not permitted at any of my retreats - this includes rest days: I forbid you during the retreat to indulge in anything other than yoga!

  • There are no ashtanga yoga classes on New and Full Moons. For a list of moon days in in 2025 they are listed HERE.
