Q: Do I need to have any prior yoga experience before trying a class? A: Not at all! Yoga therapy classes involve low
impact exercises/poses combined with breathing techniques that you learn in
the classes. All you need is an open mind!
Q: How long are the classes? Should I bring water? A:The classes range from 1 1/4 hr to 1 1/2 hr and we recommend that you bring water.
Q: Is there any special clothing or equipment I need before attending a class?
A: You do not need yoga-specific clothing, but comfortable, workout clothing works well. We recommend that you dress in layers, so you can adjust your temperature, and bring warm, comfy socks (for final relaxation). You do not need your own yoga equipment. Except for the multi-level class at Enchainment, all yoga equipment and props are provided for you; however, if you do own your own mat or yoga props, you are more than welcome to bring them.
Q: You talk about individualized attention, even in a group setting. How do you tailor the class to meet each person's needs? A: Prior to the beginning of a one yoga class, each participant fills out an extensive student history form. This gives Jaylene the information she needs to customize the yoga therapy program specifically for you.
Q: A whole 8-week session might be too much yoga for me. Is there something I could try to see if I like it before I commit to a whole session? A: Absolutely! You can book a one-on-one session to get started, or there are monthly workshops that you can attend which target specific areas of the body and/or movement and function. These last only a few hours at a time, and can give you a great idea of how the programs are structured.
Q: Do I need a doctor's referral or recommendation to attend a class? A:One yoga's yoga therapy classes help
individuals work in a pain free range of motion and is a very low impact form of
exercise, therefore a Dr.'s referral or note is not required to participate.
However if after discussing your specific needs with one yoga it may be
recommended to speak to your doctor first before starting a class.
Q: Is a one yoga therapy class covered under my extended medical insurance from work? A: Jaylene Paivarinta is a Practicing
Kinesiologist so check with your extended health insurance carrier to see if
they cover work with a Practicing Kinesiologist and keep your
receipt!
