Core Tips

Tips is a section to provide you with information that is key to your core experience. Please feel free to give us your opinion and enjoy!

1. Beginner and Level I classes are perfectly fine for those who have no experience in Yoga or Pilates.

2. Wear comfortable workout gear; Yoga/Pilates is done in bare feet. Consider bringing an extra something for warmth when class is winding down.

3. Core provides Pilates mats (thicker than yoga mats to protect the spine), thera-bands and blocks. We also have cozy fleece blankets for Savasana (deep relaxation) at the end of every yoga class.

4. Core has yoga mat rental $1 and mat rental space if you would like to keep your mat here at the studio. We also have fabulous Core mats in cool colors for sale! This is discounted 10% with the purchase of a membership.

5. Bring with you an open mind & open heart! Enjoy your classes!

6. At any time in advance of your first class we welcome you to come by and we will provide a tour and answer any questions that you may have. We are always happy to have a chat and assist in planning your experience at Core.

7. Be on time for class! Or even come early and enjoy a complimentary organic herbal tea in our relaxing Yoga Lounge….imagine, not “rushing” to yoga! Core’s lateness policy: once the glass doors to the studio are closed, no latecomers will be allowed in. Thank-you!

8. Please sign-in upon entering Core!
