We understand what it is like to be a beginner and understand that sometimes the process of starting yoga can seem overwhelming or awkward. At Sankalpa Yoga Center we celebrate the courage it takes to begin practicing yoga and our community is here to support you. We are honored for the opportunity to share yoga with you and will guide you to a strong foundation in your practice that you can rely on.

Turn your mobile phones off or to vibrate mode. Do not bring mobiles into the practice room.

We also strongly advise against wearing strong perfume.

The yoga room is intended to be a quiet zone. Please refrain from any loud talking in the yoga room. Many students use the time before class to quiet and center themselves as they prepare for class.

Leaving the room during class should be limited to emergencies.

If you are new to yoga, we encourage you to take our Hatha Yoga 1 classes which will move more slowly and focus on the fundamentals of flow yoga.

Start slow and take as many rests as you need during class.

During the aerial practice remove all jewellery to avoid damaging the hammock.
