What to Bring with You
The first thing to know is that you really don’t need much to attend your first yoga class. Here’s what you’ll want to bring:
- Yoga Mat: If you don’t have one yet, don’t worry—Soul Strong Yoga provides mats at the studio.
- Comfortable Clothing: Wear clothes you can comfortably stretch and move in, such as leggings, shorts, or a T-shirt.
- Water Bottle: While most of our classes aren’t heated, staying hydrated is always a good idea.
- A Positive Mindset: Come as you are, and remember there’s no right or wrong way to start practicing yoga.
What to Expect During Your First Class
At Soul Strong Yoga, all of our classes are guided by experienced and knowledgeable instructors who create an engaging and supportive atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel welcomed.
Arriving at the Studio
Plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your class starts. This gives you time to check in with the front desk, meet your instructor, grab yoga props, and settle into the space. Our staff will happily answer any questions and help you set up for class if needed.
Setting Up
Once inside the studio, you’ll find that the space is designed to foster relaxation and focus. Lay down your yoga mat and place any props (blocks, straps, etc.) nearby. These props may come in handy during certain poses, and they’re provided free of charge at the studio.
Don’t be shy—introduce yourself to your instructor and mention that it’s your first class. They can offer modifications and extra guidance to help you feel comfortable throughout the session.
The Class Flow
- Warm-Up: Most classes start with gentle breathing exercises and stretches to help you center yourself.
- Main Practice: You’ll move through poses (called “asanas”) that may challenge your body in different ways. Listen to your body and don’t feel pressured to go deeper into a pose than is comfortable.
- Cool Down: Classes typically end with grounding stretches and relaxation poses, like Savasana, to leave you feeling refreshed.
One of the best parts about yoga at Soul Strong is that you don’t need to be flexible or fit to join. Our instructors prioritize mindfulness and encourage everyone to practice at their own pace.

Fitting in and Feeling at Ease

Here are some quick tips to feel right at home:
- Don’t Compare: Every yogi is on their unique path. Focus on your progress, not what others are doing.
- Modify as Needed: If a pose feels challenging, don’t hesitate to use props or try a modified version.
