GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS
 
Welcome to Steve Welch Yoga
 
Q:  What should I wear for class?
A:   Wear loose comfortable clothing.  Shoes and trainers or socks are not recommended during  
      practice.  I would recommend bare feet for practice.  Also it is important not to get cold while
      practicing so it is advisable to bring a jumper or sweatshirt for the more static part of the   
      practice.
Q:  What should I bring to class?
A:   Please bring a mat, rug or blanket to lie on.  I have mats available for purchase if required.
Q:  Should I eat before a class?
A:   Do not eat a heavy meal for at least 2 hours before a class.  A light snack up to an hour before  
      class is usually fine if necessary.    
Q:   How do I contact you?
A:    Please use the contact us page.
Q:   Can I do yoga if I am pregnant?
A:    Yes but please let me know and I can advise you of specialist classes.
Yoga practice is a matter of individual experience and thus please respect the spirit of this by not talking or disturbing the practice sessions unnecessarily.  Obviously this does not apply to questions so please ask if you are unclear or uncomfortable.
 
Remember that for Yoga to be safe and effective it must be practised within one's own limits.  Please do not strain or force the body, or perform any exercise that you feel is not appropriate or painful.  Alternatives or modifications to the exercises can usually be suggested to overcome most difficulties, so please do not suffer in silence!
 
If you are experiencing any problems that may make parts of the practice difficult please let the teacher know at the start of the class.
 
 
Enjoy your yoga practice with me.
