SAFETY DOs & EQUIPMENT
- DO make sure students have an open space to practice yoga, away from furniture and sharp edges/objects. 
- DO take class in a quiet environment to allow the learner to focus on safety instructions.

- DO bring a water bottle to class. 
- DO wear flexible clothing, that stays in place as you move through all the yoga postures. No jeans/dresses/skirts or overly baggy clothes, please.
- DO come to class barefoot. This means no socks! 

- DO practice yoga on a hardwood floor, carpet or non-moving rug.
- DO bring a yoga mat, or a towel to class.
- If you do not have a yoga mat, DO bring 4 small objects of your choosing (books, smooth rocks, stuffed animals, etc) or masking tape to mark the size and shape of a yoga mat (5.5'x2') on the floor. 

PLEASE BE AWARE: 
- It is possible for students to injure themselves during yoga by extending/pushing too far, or by slipping and falling. 
- Students with asthma or migraines may experience symptoms with certain breathing exercises or inversion postures, respectively. For the purposes of this class, breathing exercises are brief, and inversions are brief or infrequent.
- It is my job as the instructor to help students identify their limits, learn about safe movement, and NOT push past those limits to the point of injury. If you know this is challenging for your learner, additional safety guidance from you is appreciated.
- I am happy to discuss any health questions or concerns prior to class.
