New Student Procedures

Complete the new student registration form on site or download here.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class starts. Just show up with the appropriate attire (see below), nothing else is required.

General Guidelines

Bikram Yoga classes are 90 minutes. See schedule

No reservations are required.

All levels, including new beginners, practice together.

Come with an empty stomach; it's best not to eat a full meal 2-3 hours before class.

The room is heated intentionally to loosen muscles, detoxify and reduce risk of injury.

Bring one or two large towels and ample water. Come to class hydrated.

We suggest women wear shorts and jog bras or tights. Men wear shorts and a short sleeved or sleeveless shirt.

Avoid strong perfumes or lotions.

Observe silence during practice.

We encourage you to bring or buy your own mat for sanitary and hygienic reasons as soon as possible. We rent mats at $2 / class.

Bottled water, rental towels, yoga mats and other merchandise are available at reasonable prices. See Prices page

We recommend you do not bring valuables into the center.

If you arrive 15-20 minutes ahead of any class there will be no problem securing a place in class.

Our mats are arranged in the yoga room ahead of each class so there is always a place for each student to see the mirrors.

We have red tape placed in both front and back rows to show you exactly where to place your yoga mat.

We lock the doors 5 minutes after class starts.

We do not grant date extensions, refunds, transfers or exchanges; couples cannot share a series. Please do not ask.

CHAI SATURDAYS

Please join us after the morning classes on Saturdays for Regina's delicious home made Chai tea. Bring your own mug or cup :)

In order to be truly effective Yoga should be practiced regularly with no long lapses of time in between. We recommend a minimum of 10 classes per month if the student is to derive optimum benefit from this program.

We pride ourselves on providing the best combination of high quality instruction and the most affordable prices in the Bay Area.
