- If I have a past injury, can I practice yoga? Yes, however those with current or past injuries should speak with their physician first. Advise instructor of any special conditions at beginning of class (heart conditions, pregnancy, etc.). Hatha, yoga for backs and gentle flow classes are good choices.
- Can I leave class early if necessary? Yes. However, each class ends with a period of final relaxation (savasana) which typically lasts 5-10 minutes. Before leaving, please lie down for a brief savasana on your own (this is an integral part of every yoga session) and then quietly gather your things and depart before group relaxation begins.
