Yoga classes run for approximately 90 minutes, and generally are held weekly. There are four sessions held each year, lasting approximately 12 weeks, and corresponding closely with the four seasons. Nevertheless, with most yoga classes a student is able to begin at any point in the session. The student’s first class at Renaissance Yoga Studio is free. After that the fee is $12 for each class attended. This includes drop-ins, as well as registered students. Drop-ins are always welcome, but only if there is space available in the class. Cash or personal checks are accepted as payment, and should be given at the beginning of each class. Class cards can also be purchased. Each card costs $100, and entitles the student to 10 yoga classes. Gift certificates are also available. Students are also able to have individual lessons at the studio, at the rate of $50 per hour.

If you are planning on attending a yoga class, please plan to arrive at the studio on time. Teachers begin each class with an introduction and a centering activity that prepares you for what follows. Also dress casually, in clothing that allows you to bend, stretch and twist. If you may need to change before or after class, you may do so at the studio. When you do come to class, avoid wearing strong perfumes or deodorants, and be sure that your cell phones are turned off while the class is in session. It is also best not to eat a meal any closer than 3 hours before class(a light snack is OK).

If you have any physical or mental conditions, please consult your health care provider before starting an exercise program, and also inform the instructor at the first class. You will be asked to sign a liability waiver once you begin to take classes at the studio.

As for weather-related cancellations, generally, unless it is a plowable snowfall yoga classes will be held. If the weather is questionable, students may call 495-9634 beforehand, to fine out whether the class will be held.
