As with any type of fitness class, coming prepared can help you get the most from the experience.  These guidelines may help you know what to bring and expect for a DFW Free Day of Yoga class.

• RSVP for a class if it is requested by studio in the classroom descriptions.
• Arrive early. Classes are well attended, so arriving early will ensure your mat space.
• Bring a mat, towel or blanket. This provides a non-skid surface for you to work on.
• Dress to move. Wear comfortable, athletic type clothing so you can move easily.  Footwear is not required since yoga is practiced barefoot.
• Practice on an empty stomach. Allow at least one hour after eating or drinking before practicing yoga.
• Be mindful and respect the limits of your body.

Finding the right teacher or class can be a challenge for those new to yoga or those looking to branch out to a new style.  Here are some tips for making a good connection.

• Consider what you want from a class and your present physical needs and limitations.
• Ask a teacher about their training certification or credentials
• Ask a teacher for advice about which classes are a fit for your requirements or experience level.
• Take classes in different styles from different teachers until you find the right fit.
