Etiquette

Here at Buddhi Mat we believe that yoga is more than just a physical practice. It is a process of understanding how our actions not only affect ourselves, but those around us. Please respect the following requests to help make everyone’s experience more pleasurable.

•	Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow yourself to check in (sign in and pay before class) and get yourself settled in the classroom.
•	If you do arrive late, please come in calmly and quietly.
•	Leave your shoes and coats in the designated areas outside the studio. No shoes in the studio!
•	Store all other personal items – handbags, wallets, keys – in the cubbies allocated for these items in the studio. In order to maximize space, the only items on the floor should be your mat, water and a towel.
•	Do not bring open beverage containers to class. The instructors need to move around the room and the knocking over of drinks can be disruptive.
•	No cell phones, pagers, etc.
•	Please use the mat markers on the floor, even if there is an empty space next to you. This allows for plenty of room for everyone, gives space for the instructor to move around and less disruption for late arrivals.
•	If you rent a mat, please use the mat cleaner supplied in the studio to wipe down your mat after class and hang up to dry in designated area.
•	Be aware of your “space”. Be mindful of where you place your water, towels during the practice. Wipe up any “puddles” you might have created when you are through.
•	Please refrain from wearing any perfume or cologne.
•	Plan to stay for the whole practice. In the rare event that you do need to leave early, do so as quietly as possible.

Class Descriptions

POWER: Buddhi Mat’s signature class is a challenging and dynamic breath guided style of heated yoga. The room is kept at approximately 90° for this powerful combination of strength, flexibility, stamina and focus. With attention on breath, presence, alignment and working from the core the sequencing is specifically designed to help create a balanced body and mind. Our Power classes start with Sun Salutations to heat the body. Followed by standing and balancing poses that we hold to build strength and endurance before we take it to the floor for abdominal work and backbending. The class is completed with some deep, opening poses that after all the heat and strength building allows for greater release and surrender.

This sweat drenching yoga practice is designed for all levels and accessible to most. No yoga experience is necessary, just a desire to be in the process. Students will be encouraged to work at their own personal level. Beginners will be given modifications, while more seasoned yogis will be guided on how take it to the next level. (90°) All Levels.

POWER BASICS: Follows the same format as our Power class at a slower pace. This allows for more focus on basic alignment and techniques that help build a solid foundation for the physical practice and a greater understanding of the process. This is great for beginners and experienced yogis interested in fine tuning their practice. Ujjayi breathing, working from the core, sun salutations and the basic Power yoga poses are taught. (90°) All Levels.

HOT, DEEP & SLOW: Get ready to slow down and open up. If you thought “slow” meant easy, get ready to be proven wrong! Class begins with a flowing, breath guided practice. Pace is slowed down by bringing focus on controlling the breath and longer holds. This slower pace requires presence and guides student into learning how to get in to and out of a pose with awareness. Floor poses are held longer, which allows for deeper release, with special attention given to the hips, hamstrings, quads and groin. (90°) All Levels.

POWER CORE: Designed to help strengthen and bring awareness to the core. Abdominal and lower back muscles are focused on. This practice is a great supplement to our Power classes that focus on moving from the core. This class will help you see improvement in every pose, adding more balance and lightness to your yoga practice. (90°) All Levels.

POWER HOUR: A 60-minute version of our Power class. (90°) All Levels.

Specialty Classes

RESTORATIVE: Calm the nervous system, cool the brain, rest the senses. Restorative yoga is a practice of passive poses where your body is fully supported and held by props such as bolsters, blankets and blocks. It helps restore and renew your body and mind on every level. It is a deeply healing practice that helps release and reduce stress and can be beneficial for those who experience chronic pain or illness. Restorative yoga is designed for all levels. No yoga experience is necessary.
