Some Q&A's About the Yoga Basics Course

What if I can't sign up for the beginner yoga course because of scheduling or other issues?  While we recommend this course for absolute beginners, life sometimes dictates our schedules.  If you cannot enrol in the course we recommend attending  any of our drop-in beginner yoga classes on our schedule for which there is no time commitment, nor do you have to call to sign up -- just drop-in! 

What if the start date of the beginner yoga course is a few weeks away and I'd like to start taking yoga classes immediately?  We recommend coming to any of our beginner drop-in yoga classes before your course starts. 

What if I'd like to do more than one class per week? 

Don't hesitate to come to any of our beginner yoga drop-in classes while you are taking the course.  It will give you an extra workout during the week and also give you the opportunity to practice what you're learning in the course.
