What class should I start with?
At Yoga Prairie, our teachers have extensive training in yoga, all having completed more than 200 hours plus additional teacher education. It is a good idea to begin with a Beginner's yoga class or an Eischen's yoga class to make sure you learn proper alignment in the yoga asanas (poses).
Our 7:30 am Saturday class and 6:00 pm Sunday class are also appropriate for beginners.

What should I bring/wear?
- Yoga Mat. If you are coming to the studio for your first class and do not own a yoga mat, feel free to borrow one of our mats. We have mats available for purchase here that are 1/4" or 1/8" thickness and very durable that are reasonably priced.
- Clothing should be comfortable, giving you freedom to move. Do not wear very loose fitting clothing or very tight clothing that might restrict movement or breathing. Please also consider others in not wearing revealing clothing. (Loose fitting shorts or tops for example.)
- Barefeet. Shoes and socks are not worn during yoga practice. Shoes are removed in the front entryway.
- No cell phones. Please do not bring cell phones into the studio, if you do not want to leave your phone in your car, please make sure it is turned off before you walk in.
- Please avoid perfume or strong smelling lotion (some people have severe reactions to these)
- Deodorant please. Strong body odors can bother others.
