FAQs

Tips for your first class!

We recommend arriving early for your first visit to get familiar with the space, connect with your instructor before class, and settle in. If you are new to yoga, let your instructor know so they can be more equipped to support you throughout practice. Just like any new activity, there is a learning curve to yoga; you might be lost at times until you learn basic poses, names of shapes and the language of the practice, so be forgiving to yourself and feel free to take as many breaks as you need! We strive to create a non-comparative and non-performative space for you to move and breathe. Lastly, we recommend you choose a mat space near the back of the room if you are able to snag one. Because most of us are visual learners, the vantage point of seeing folks around you can be helpful in getting started!

What do I bring?

Wear comfortable clothing you can move around in. Aside from that, just bring a water vessel. Mats and props are here, or bring your own mat if you prefer. If you are joining one of our infrared heated classes, bring a towel to stay comfortable while you sweat. Forgot yours? We have towel rentals, too!

What classes should I start with?

All of our classes are designed for all levels. The best place to start is choosing a class that fits into your schedule. While all classes are designed to accommodate beginners, each class will offer a different pace and level of physical exertion. You can read more about our class styles on our website here to get started.

What can I expect in a yoga class?

Once class begins, your instructor will open with a short centering practice or simple guided meditation to induce focus and relaxation. From there, the pace and intensity depend on the class style, from strong heated flow to fully supported rest. Class lengths range from 45 to 75 minutes. You can read more about our class styles here.

How many classes do you recommend I attend each week to get the benefits of a consistent yoga practice? 

There is no magic number! Some members of our community will practice every day, some much less. In general, you will get the most benefits physically, mentally and emotionally from the practice if you attend regularly at least 2 times per week. As you find class styles and instructors you resonate with, we recommend regular attendance to maintain a consistent schedule as much as you are able. We say this with the understanding that by creating a relationship with an instructor and coming regularly to their classes, they are more equipped to personalize the practice and support you with verbal (and, if you consent, hands-on) adjustments. You can read more about our staff here.

Do I need to pre register for class? How do I sign up?

Please create an account prior to coming into the studio on our website or using this link here. All students will need to create their own account in order to practice at LYC. We recommend doing this prior to arriving so you can enjoy the space and settle into class. Although pre-registration is not required, it is highly recommended to ensure we have space in class. You can download the LYC app for easy booking management!

What membership is right for me?

If you are new to the studio, start with Intro Month: $59 for your first 30 days of unlimited classes. It is our one offer for first-time clients, a chance to get a feel for our space and experience what we have to offer. The next step is to choose a membership or class package that fits your needs. The best fit will depend on how often you’d like to practice. Our pricing menu is a great guide.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes! Please have friends create their own account if they don't have one already. All visitors to the studio must create an account with us which allows them to sign our liability waiver to join class. Signing up prior to arrival allows more time to get set up and relax.
