WHAT TO EXPECT
Bikram Yoga Surrey

Before the class

• For your first class please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
• Be well hydrated, having drunk a minimum of 1 litre of water sometime before class but not so soon before class that you will need a washroom break.
• Arrive on an empty stomach. Generally, this means not having eaten 3 hours before class.
• Prepare to be challenged with your first class. Dedicate yourself to your 90 minutes. And, above all, be open to a new experience and a new understanding of your body.

There will be some paperwork to complete before your first class. Minors will need our consent form signed by their parent or guardian to participate in class. You may complete the paperwork in advance to speed up your registration. Click here for a link to our waiver and consent form.

What to bring

• If you have your own mat, please bring it, along with some water, a large towel to use during class, and one if you would like to shower before and/or after class. The studio has bottled water available for purchase and mats and towels for rent.
• Wear clothing that you will feel comfortable sweating in and that is neither too tight nor so loose that it will get in the way. Men will likely feel most comfortable in just a pair of shorts and women might feel best in shorts and a sports bra-top. Shorts cut above the knee will ensure better mobility and the freedom to bend easily.

The class

• During class it is common to feel a bit dizzy or even somewhat nauseous. If this happens please lie down but stay in the room and rejoin the practice when you are ready.
  
• After class, plan to spend some time in the room relaxing and enjoying your accomplishment. Keep well hydrated and be aware that you've sweat a lot and may need some salts or electrolytes. You may feel energized or that you need a nap. Listen to your body. Try to come back, ideally the next day.
   
• Your first class will be the most challenging. Try to come again a soon as possible. You'll feel more at ease with the pace and timing of the series and you should stretch out any muscle stiffness you may experience the next day.

Please stay in the room for the whole class.  Leaving the room disrupts other students and removes you from the supervision of the instructor.  There is no talking the studio room at any time.
