Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the classes?
Classes are generally 60 minutes long.

What style of yoga is it?
We teach all kinds of yoga! One of the wonderful things about Yoga is that we have many diverse teachers with different backgrounds. Our style can be described as “all levels” and “accessible” because we aim to make each class approachable for people with various body types and levels of experience.

What do I need to bring? You can bring your own yoga mat but we have a collection of mats and props for everyone to use, which means the only thing people need to bring is themselves in comfy clothing.

How many students generally attend?
This highly depends on the day / time of year / climate / etc. Our average class is around 5 students, we sometimes have as few as one (free private yoga session!) and sometimes as many as 15. The room could accommodate many more.

Do you have to register to attend?
The class is drop-in and completely free! To help our teachers plan, we do encourage you to sign up by emailing fmartin@glide.org.
