No, all you need is a positive mind and dedication towards your own wellness. See someone in membership to discuss and get an idea of what you are searching for in a yoga class and they can guide you to the right class. Also, be sure to read our class descriptions so you can decide for yourself what works for you. We have plenty of gentle and all levels classes to get you started; both morning and evening.

Being flexible is not a requirement for being able to do yoga! We come to yoga to increase our strength, flexibility, and overall well-being! We all start with different levels of flexibility, and you’ll begin to see results in a way that is safe and works for your specific body.

First, check with your physician and make sure it is ok. It is also important for you to check in with the teacher before class if you have any concerns. All of our staff can help you by guiding you to the right class and the right props as well. Yoga is NO Competition! NO Comparison! We should not even compare how we did a pose the week before because every day is new. Listen to your body and if it says to back off then back off! No one is judging you, it’s your body, your practice.

It is always good to be hydrated and when practicing Yoga it is no different. Make sure you are hydrated before you come and drink plenty of water after class. It is recommended that you do eat 3-4 hours before class.

Yes, but make sure to tell your instructor that you are! Avoid twisting, inversions, pranayama, any abdominal strengthening pose and lying on your belly.

Again, it’s your body, your practice. It all depends on how you feel emotionally and physically. For example, if you had planned on taking power yoga, and your back was hurting all day: that would be a time to take a night off or do restorative yoga instead of a challenging class. Most of our yoga students at Cloud 9 Wellness Studio take 2-3 classes a week mixing the styles and teachers.

Not at all! We have students that have started in their 60’s and maintain a practice in their 70’s and 80’s! In our classes you may see an 18 year old and a 70 year old in the same class. As long as both are listening to their bodies and respecting their limitations; then there is no limit to your yoga practice!

• Arrive 10-15 minutes early. If the class before your class is still in session, please wait outside the studio until it is complete.

• Disconnect. Turn OFF your cell phone. Don’t put it on vibrate, put it on airplane mode or turn it off completely.

• Take of your shoes AS SOON AS YOU ENTER the studio. We walk barefoot in the studio and dirt is an unwanted distraction!

• Introduce yourself to the teacher and tell them if you are new, if you have any injuries or concerns.

• Put your mat down, grab your props and take the few minutes left before class to be still and get ready physically and mentally for class. Stretch, twist, or just lie on your back or sit on your mat, it doesn’t matter. It’s your body, your practice!; the important thing is that you start the important process of giving yourself over completely to yoga for the next 60 minutes!
