New to our studio or to yoga?

Welcome to SukhaLife Yoga! If you’re new to yoga, we understand that starting a new practice can be a bit intimidating. We’re here to help you feel at ease and excited about your yoga journey. Here’s everything you need to know to get started:

Which class should I take?

If you are new to yoga, our Slow Flow classes are the perfect starting point. These classes feature introductory poses that are accessible to individuals of all body types and athletic abilities. They help you build a strong foundation before progressing to more dynamic styles.

Our team at SukhaLife Yoga is dedicated to finding the right class for you. We will never push you to join a class that makes you uncomfortable or doesn’t align with your goals. Visit us at our St. Pete studio on Central Avenue or give us a call—we’re here to answer any questions you may have.

Tips for Your First Visit

What to Wear?

Wear snug-fitting workout clothes that allow you to move freely. Avoid anything too loose that might get in the way during poses.

What to Bring?

Bring a yoga mat, a hand towel, and a bottle of water. If you don’t have these items, don’t worry—we offer them for rent or sale at the studio.

Fragrances

Minimize the use of perfume or cologne to avoid affecting others who might be sensitive or allergic.

Arrival Time

Arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled class time. This gives you enough time to check in, store your belongings, roll out your mat, and gather any props you might need. If you have extra time, sit quietly, focus on your breath, or do a few gentle stretches to warm up.

Footwear

Yoga is practiced barefoot. Please remove your shoes before entering the practice space.

Injuries

If you have any injuries, inform the instructor before class starts. They can provide modifications to ensure your safety and comfort.

Electronics

Yoga class is a chance to escape daily distractions and be fully present. Please leave your devices on silent in the lounge area.

Space Etiquette

Classes can get crowded. Be considerate by making room for others if possible. Keep conversation to a minimum in the studio space to maintain a peaceful environment.

Leaving Early

If you need to leave early, inform the teacher before class, position yourself near the door, and leave before savasana (final relaxation) begins.

I’m nervous about my first class. Any advice?

Everyone starts somewhere! Focus on your breath and listen to your body. The most important thing is to enjoy the experience and not worry about perfection.

Yoga is for every body. Our classes cater to all fitness levels, and our instructors provide modifications to suit your needs.
