Before your class
- Set up your mat in a quiet, clutter free space. Have a strap, neck tie or belt and a blanket.
- The teacher will practice along with you, so you can see the poses. The teacher will periodically look for corrections and speak to you through the computer. If the class is a hybrid class, the teacher will be wearing a mask.
- See instructions for chair and restorative classes at the bottom of this page.
During your class
- Upon entering Zoom, your mic will be un-muted so we can all converse as normal. As class starts, your mic will be automatically muted to create a quiet space for all.
- Your teacher will greet you, take attendance, and teach the class.
