FAQs + What to Expect
I’m brand new. How do I get started?
We’re so glad you found us! To make your first visit smooth, you can create an account and sign your waiver online ahead of time here. Arriving 10 to 15 minutes early gives you a chance to settle in, meet your teacher, and get comfortable in our space.
Do I need experience to take a class?
Absolutely not! Many of our classes are designed with beginners in mind. If you’re just starting out, try classes like Restorative, Gentle, Foundations Flow, or Power Flow I. These classes move at a gentle pace and help you build confidence in the basics. Our blog also has beginner class recommendations!
What if I don't want to take a HOT class?
Our WARM or UNHEATED classes might be a great fit. They’re gently heated, so you can enjoy the comfort of warmth without it feeling too intense.
These classes have a WARM or UNHEATED label in the title for convenience.
What should I bring?
A yoga mat
A large towel to cover your mat
A small hand towel
Plenty of water (we do have a fountain!)
Your open mind and spirit
We practice barefoot, so you can leave your shoes at the door and step onto your mat just as you are.
When should I eat before class?
A light snack an hour or two before class usually feels best. Eating a big meal right before practice can make movement less comfortable, so listen to your body and do what feels right for you.
Are there age requirements?
For our heated classes, students need to be at least 16 years old. If you’re under 18 and want to join an adult class, we ask that a parent or guardian comes along with you.
Students under 18 require a parent or guardian to sign a separate waiver, found here.
Parents are asked to email confirmation of receipt to hello@yocoyogacollective.com to ensure it is appropriately linked to their child's record.
Any tips for my first time?
Arrive a little early if you can. Our doors open about 30 minutes before class, giving you time to settle in and get comfortable.
Bring water and remember to hydrate before, during, and after class. Taking care of yourself is always encouraged.
Let your teacher know if you have any injuries, limitations, or medical conditions. We’re here to support you and want to make sure you feel safe and cared for.
