​The yama of AHIMSA:  Compassion/Non-harming

a) The door to in-person class is unlocked for 30 minutes prior to and 30 minutes post-class.

Doors are locked for the safety of the students in meditation, as well as respect for their process of delving deeper into states of concentration as the class progresses. 

Interruptions in their learning process is detrimental to the lesson.

The door will not be unlocked once class begins, until it is over.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to get situated/settled so we can start on time.

 

b) Students are wise not to eat 90 minutes prior to class start time (includes the online as well).  One of the benefits of the asanas (postures for meditation) and some pranayamas (breath work) is that they stimulate and massage internal organs.  If the stomach is 'full', this can create nausea or discomfort, gas and more.  If you must eat before class, choosing light fare will do you (and your neighbour in the class) a great service [broth, steamed vegetables, fruit, crackers or anything else that does not give you bloating or gas].

 

c) We practice in a scent-free environment in-person as much as possible respecting

our friends with sensitivities

 

d) Intoxicated students, or any rude and disrespectful behaviour and/or language will not be tolerated and can end in you being asked to leave the group.  The ambiance whether in-person or online is one of peaceful presence.

 

e) For 'Floor Yoga' classes involving postures, we recommend 'doubling-up' on your mat if you feel that 1 mat is not comfortable enough on the hard floor.  Expensive mats are not necessary.  As long as their surface is 'sticky' enough so that you do not slip when in wide stances ... you are good.

 

f) We recommend bringing a few props to the classes involving postures, that can give you options for assistance when you need them.  2 Yoga blocks and 1 Yoga tie are helpful props (but not necessary) if you are contemplating their purchase, hoping to make your experience on

the mat a more supportive one.

Stay tuned for upcoming ONLINE OFFERINGs:

The yama of ASTEYA:  Non-stealing

​ If you live in a country like Canada, where layering is necessary to maintain a healthy body heat during your practice in the cold months, you are wise to wear the proper attire when attending a class in a community space which may be struggling to cover its expenses: like the rising high costs of heating a building.  The yama of AHIMSA:  compassion/non-harming is a practice for true students of Yoga.

Empathy for non-profit organizations struggling to survive, means you have no problem wearing extra clothing for your yoga class (instead of expecting the facility to turn up the heat and suffer the added expense).   By doing this, you are also practicing SEVA:  selfless service.  

The yama of ASTEYA teaches us that insisting a community center (struggling to pay its expenses) turn up their heat when we have the option to simply 'layer' more, can be seen as 'stealing' their much-needed funds that could instead be directed to their mission and outreach.

Food for thought.
