FAQ's & FUN
What should I wear, what should I bring and when should I arrive at my first yoga class?
For your first yoga class, be sure to bring a bottle of water, towel and a yoga mat. If you don’t have these things, no worries, our yoga studios provides towels, mats and sell water. We sell beautiful Jade Mats when you decide to commit your energy to your own mat. Be sure to wear fitted exercise clothes, ideally ones that wick away moisture. First-timers should also get to the studio 15 minutes before class starts to meet your yoga instructor and ask any questions. We want to share our one-of-a-kind yoga with everyone, so come to work hard and have fun!

Can I attend Zen Zone Classes if I have never done Yoga, Pilates or Barre before?
What class should I take if I have never done yoga before?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it with our offer of "30 days for $40" for new students. Our classes range in variety from beginner to more challenging. We recommend those who have never taken yoga before start with a Yoga 101, gentle, chair or a restorative yoga class. You’ll practice in an unheated beautiful studio and explore the yoga postures and fundamental principles of Vinyasa yoga. Depending on your experience, we generally recommend taking as many yoga 101 or gentle classes that you would like before taking other classes. We also offer Hot, Vinyasa Flow, Pilates, Barre, Pre-natal, Meditation and Hit Fit classes, which are also beginner friendly. During your first week, we encourage you to take two to three classes to help you create a solid foundation, so you can reap all the benefits including breath, strength, community and flexibility.
