BENEFITS
Yoga is a complete form of exercise that strengthens your entire
body, improves your flexibility, develops balance, improves
circulation, and reduces stress. An excellent complement to any
athletic sport, yoga helps to prevent injuries and establish
greater stability and range of motion. Yoga calms the mind, improves
concentration, steadies the emotions, and opens the heart to feeling
fully alive.
These benefits vary depending on how often you practice:
1-2
CLASSES A WEEK - Reduces Stress; modest improvement in flexibility and balance,
modest improvement in breathing; modest postural improvement; better
sleep; safe exploration of recent injuries.
3-4
CLASSES A WEEK - All of the above, plus significant increase in strength,
flexibility and balance; increased energy; better posture; improved
circulation and skin; improved breathing; stronger immune system;
improved mood; improved attention, concentration and memory;
improved overall sense of well being.
5-7
CLASSES A WEEK - All of the above, plus greater endurance and energy, structural
body reintegration, profoundly enhanced mental clarity and emotional
stability, profound inner awareness and sense of overall well-being.

CLASS PROTOCOL
At MSY our intention is to provide a supportive,
stress free environment to assist in the exploration of yoga. To
help us create this space, please consider the following...
Remove your shoes
as soon as you enter. This
keeps our floors clean and also marks the shift from the outer world
of our daily lives to the inner world of yoga. Place your shoes in
the cubbies in the lobby.
Arrive on time.
Arriving a little early before class gives you time to stretch,
enjoy a cup of tea, meditate and simply ground yourself. If you do
arrive late, please let someone at the desk help you get into class
and enter quietly, unfolding your matt and quieting noisy keys
before you enter. Look to the teacher who will help you find a
space. If you arrive more than ten minutes late, we may suggest
that you take the next class.
Practice on an empty stomach.
Refrain from eating up to 3 hours before you practice. A light
snack is fine, but an empty stomach will allow your body to feel
lighter and practice the asana from a place of clarity. If you need
to drink water during class, take only small sips and keep the
bottle in a cubbie off the floor.
Please print in at the desk.
This is one aspect of our tracking process and your cooperation is
appreciated.
Please refrain from wearing perfume or other strong scents in class.
Keep voices low in the lobby area when classes are in session.
Turn off all phones and pagers before you walk into the studio.
If you need to make a call, please step outside.
Inform the teacher about any injuries or special conditions.
We’re here to help. The only way we can assist you with
modifications during poses is if we are aware of your personal
history.
Purchase a yoga mat.
Our mats are generally for new students. We do our best to keep our
mats clean, but consider other students’ feet, face and hands make
contact with the mats. You deserve your own mat. It’s also
a sign of commitment.
Attend the level of class recommended.
Honor your body. If you are new to yoga, our Basics classes are
designed to teach you alignment and breathing techniques. Be
patient and consistent with your practice and give your body time to
process the principles of alignment. This approach lowers your
risk of injury and allows you to explore yoga from a pure place,
free of ego and personal expectation. Your body and spirit will
thank you. If you feel you’ve advanced beyond Basics, check in with
your teacher and see if you’re ready to progress to another class.
Enjoy your class…carry your yoga practice with you always.
