ABOUT US CLASSESREQUEST MEMBERSHIP INFO & E-NEWSCONTACT US

We are breaking down the barriers, stripping away preconceived notions about yoga, and creating yoga for EveryBODY.  Wilson’s truly is for every shape, every size and every person.  

We discourage intimidation or judgment in our studio.  We guarantee our instructors will make you feel amazing.  Our studio is designed to be warm and welcoming and we have  specifically chosen instructors that are inviting, outgoing, positive, attentive, available, and kind (but they will push you to achieve your personal goals).  Each one of them brings something unique and powerful to the studio and we encourage you to try them all!

Before taking a hot class

  • Consult with a doctor before trying a hot class if you have a heart condition or any other ailment.
  • Professionals recommend that pregnant women should not take a hot class.
  • Wear what you would normally wear to a yoga class: breathable fitted clothing is best and avoid cotton.   For women, shorts or tights and tank tops or bra tops acceptable.  Men can wear shorts or tights and shirt is optional.
  • Try not to eat right before class.  We recommend a light meal 2-3 hours before class for optimal performance.  Overeating or eating too close to class time may cause nausea during class.  If you do need to eat before class, we recommend some fruit due to the quick natural uptake.
  • Listen to your body during class:  It is very important to keep yourself safe.  It is your responsibility to pull out of a posture that does not feel right for your body. Our teachers are highly trained, and they do their best to keep everyone safe, but teachers cannot know everything that is going on in your body, nor can they feel what you feel. Pain is an indicator that you have gone too far. Please honor your body.  If you need a rest, you may stop and rest by lying down on your back. Heed your body’s warnings, and stop and rest. The purpose of Yoga is to nourish and nurture; take care of you, do not overdo.
  • Weigh yourself before and after class.  Hydration is vital to a healthy body. For every pound lost in class, you need to drink 20-24 ounces of water to replace that water loss. Stay hydrated.

 Studio Expectations:  In order to create a stress-free, relaxing environment for all, the following expectations will be presented and followed.
