Eventually there will be hot yoga, but we are not sure when. Please be patient with new guidelines and rules coming out, so we can figure out the best time to incorporate this back into our practice.

Do I need to be in shape, be flexible or have any past experience with exercise to do yoga?

No. MSY is body positive! All people of various shapes and sizes, mental and physical abilities, and age groups can find a Yoga class that is right for their abilities. Any Yoga class can be generalized to fit YOU. We are committed to accommodating your needs. The importance of taking things nice and slow, working at one’s own pace and doing what feels right for the individual is a basis for all yoga practice.

Check out our guidelines for yoga etiquette.

I don’t have a mat, is there one at the studio I can borrow?

Is Yoga a religion?

No, Yoga is a Sanskrit word which means “union”: of body, mind and soul. It offers guidelines for all aspects of your life: postures & breathing techniques for your BODY; concentration for your MIND; and meditation for your SOUL. It also offers ethical guidelines, but Yoga is not dogmatic. You can be any religion you want (or none) and practice it. What we can say is that yoga often makes you closer to your own spiritual path by helping you go inwards to find your own truth.

We look forward to having you in class! ~MSY Family
