Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m so inflexible! Can I even do yoga? Where do I start?
A: Improved strength & flexibility is a wonderful side effect of yoga practice. Thankfully, it is not a prerequisite! The beauty of Iyengar yoga is that it provides modifications so that everyone can experience stability and freedom in the poses. Our Fundamentals Series is a great place to start, but most any class that fits into your schedule will likely be fine. Email Kim at edenyogaNH@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
Q: What do I wear to yoga?
A: It’s best to wear comfortable clothing that does not inhibit movement. Any workout-type clothing is fine. Shorts or leggings are best (not sweatpants). They make it easier for the teacher to see your alignment.
Q: Do I need a yoga mat or other equipment?
A: No. We have everything you need here. If you have a mat or other props you like to use, feel free to bring them.
Q: Food and water…
A: It is not comfortable to practice on a full stomach. Give yourself an hour or two between mealtime and class. Come hydrated. You may bring your water bottle into class, but it is best to take only small sips during class.
Q: Are there bathrooms, changing rooms, or showers?
A: There are women’s and men’s bathrooms on the first floor and one unisex bathroom on the second floor near the studio.
Q: Is this hot yoga?
A: No. Studio temperatures range between 70°- 80°F. It is best to wear layers.
Q: What if I have an injury or physical concern?
A: This practice is open to all people and all abilities. Please let your instructor know about your concerns before class begins. Some poses are contraindicated for menstruation or pregnancy, so please speak with the teacher about this. If you are not feeling well, please stay home and join us via live-stream, if appropriate. That said, yoga may not be appropriate for certain acute injuries or illnesses. If you are not sure about your specific condition, ask your doctor and email Kim at edenyoganh@gmail.com.
Some students prefer to take a private yoga lesson prior to starting group classes. Other students enjoy pairing occasional private lessons with attending regular group classes. Private lessons will help you develop confidence and learn yoga techniques that fit your needs. To schedule a private lesson, please e-mail Kim.
Please note that if you are ill with a cold or flu, it is best to stay at home. If you are feeling well enough, check out our Livestream or pre-recorded classes!
