New to Yoga?
We love beginners!
Hello there!
Welcome to Inner Bliss. Together, on our yoga mats, we breathe, move, laugh, grow stronger, become more supple, and open our hearts.
We were all beginners at one time, so we know how it feels to be new to yoga. We hope to make your experience simple and blissful!

Wear clean, comfortable clothes such as leggings and a fitted T-shirt. Wear a layer or two in case you get chilly or hot. Arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins. Bring a yoga mat, a small hand towel, and a water bottle.

Yoga is not a competitive sport. In fact, yoga, at its essence, encourages you to honor your body and any limitations you may have. Rest if you need to, and simply begin where you are.

Please arrive 10 minutes early to class, leave your shoes in the lobby (In Westlake this is at the bottom of the stairs), bring water, a mat and a small towel, please silence your cell pone and refrain from using it in the studio unless it is an emergency and always enjoy the stillness and peace of the studio!

Avoid eating 2 hours prior to the practice.
Bring a yoga mat, towel, and water.
Listen to your body. Modify or embellish your practice as needed. Take care of yourself.
As teachers, we want to help... Let us know of any limitations you might have or modifications you may need.
Try easy. Sometimes “finding an edge” means doing less.
If you feel sharp, shooting pain, STOP. Immediately. Discomfort is part of our practice but there is a significant difference between discomfort and pain. Your practice should never be painful.
Slow Flow Classes
This slow-paced class is the antidote to our fast-paced lives. Students are invited to step out of their busy-ness and practice bodily awareness synchronized with intentional breath. We tend to explore poses that are close to the ground. This class is friendly for students new to yoga and perfect if you are in need of recovery and restoration.
