Of course!  In fact, that’s the reason many people decide to practice yoga — because they want to improve their mobility and fitness.  After just a few classes, you’ll begin to notice improvements in your flexibility and mobility.

We strongly recommend it.  If it’s your first class with us, creating your account and booking your spot ahead of time will save you several minutes of waiting at the front desk.  We’ll be able to get you settled into your class that much more quickly.

In addition, some of our classes are regularly at or near full capacity.  We may not be able to admit you into a class if all the spots are already taken.

Yes!  We offer several hot yoga classes every day.  Some of them are good for beginners, others are a little more challenging.  If you’re never done yoga before, it’s probably a good idea to try our non-hot classes first, before jumping into hot room.  Learn more about our heated offerings, and how to prepare for them, here.

You can rent one of our lululemon mats for $3.  If you sign up for the New Student Trial Membership

Wear something light and stretchy.  Clean gym clothes will do the trick. Avoid thick or heavy fabrics that will bunch up during certain poses and get in your way.

Because many people are senstitive to strong scents, please avoid perfumes and colognes. Come to class cleaned and groomed.

Yoga postures are best done on an empty stomach. Inversions and twists, for example, are very uncomfortable when your stomach is full of food.  We recommend not eating anything 2 hours before your class starts.  If you absolutely need to eat, try some fruit or another light snack.

Absolutely!  This is especially important if you’re taking a heated class.  But even if your class isn’t in the hot room, it’s still a good idea to stay hydrated.  Drink plenty of fluids like water and coconut water throughout the day, before your class.

If it’s your first visit, please show up about 15 minutes before the class starts. That way, we can show you around, get you settled in, and introduce you to your teacher.

If you haven’t signed up in advance, please arrive even earlier.  It will take us a few minutes to register you in the system and check you in.

Please call us at (718) 261-9642 to let us know you’re running late.  That way, we’ll know not to give your spot to someone on the wait list. 

If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, we can’t let you into the class for safety reasons.

Once you arrive, don’t enter the room until after the Om is completed.  Go to your spot and unroll your mat quietly to avoid disturbing others.

No, we don’t.  Our regulars prefer to shower in the privacy of their own home.  We do have changing stalls you can use to get in and out of your yoga clothes.

Metered street parking is available around the studio.  However, we’re on a very busy part of Queens, so parking spaces are often hard to find.  Budget at least 30 minutes to look for parking.  The nearest parking garage is at 108-20 71st Ave. It’s a good idea to take public transportation whenever possible.

The nearest bike racks are in front of the Forest Hills branch of the Queens Public Library.  The library is at 108-19 71st Avenue, directly behind the studio.

Absolutely!  It’s the best way to get to the studio.  We are just steps away from the 71st – Continental Ave station on the E/F subway lines.  If you’re traveling eastbound, exit at the front of the platform.  If you’re traveling westbound, get off at the back of the train. We are located on the north side of Queens Boulevard.

To get the full benefits of the practice, it’s always a good idea to stay for the entire class, especially the closing savasana, when your body has a chance to recharge and recover.

If you absolutely have to leave, please let the instructor know at the beginning of class.  Set up your mat near the door so you can make a discreet exit.  Leave quietly before the class settles into savasana and don’t disturb others on your way out.
