Guidelines
When attending classes at Lotus Yoga Centre, please observe the following guidelines to ensure a pleasant, rewarding experience for yourself and the other participants.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to allow yourself time to sign-in and get ready for class. Wear comfortable lightweight clothing (natural fibres is recommended).
- Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach. It is recommended that you not eat 2-3 hours before class. Inform the teacher prior to class of any serious existing health conditions, back, neck, or joint injuries, recent surgery, high blood pressure or pregnancy.
- For women, when menstruating, it is advised to refrain from practicing “breath of fire”, “root lock” (squeezing pelvic floor muscles) and inverted postures. Menstruation is considered “apana” (the body is eliminating; downward flow) whereas the above techniques encourage upward flow of energy.
- For the comfort of all participants, please refrain from wearing perfume in class. Please turn off all cell phones and pagers before entering the studio.

The shakti (energy) of each kriya sequence flows through the practitioner like a celestial song channelling pranic flow towards the specific state of consciousness that is intended. A 15 min. yoga nidra relaxation completes this class.
