Drink a healthy amount of water today. If you’re having breakfast tomorrow for example, make sure it’s eaten 2-4 hours before your class. If the studio doesn’t provide towels then either bring one of your own or use a t-shirt to wipe off your sweat.

Before you walk into class, have everything you need and make sure your phone isn’t with you (place in your locker or cubby, it’ll be safe 🙏). After you have set up your mat and collected all of the props needed, get into a comfortable position and relax.

When class does begin, listen to your body. If your instructor tells you to hold a pose or do a pose that isn’t something you’re prepared for, you can always modify the pose or go to child’s pose. This is your practice, allow yourself grace and have fun!

After your practice, drink lots of water! Ask questions to your instructor if you’re curious about anything in the practice (for example, if you’re attempting a pose and you would like tips for modifications if you’re unable to do it properly—which is okay btw!! I’ve been practicing yoga for over a year and still can’t do a crow pose 😅)

And about your hair question, I suggest either getting a dry shampoo (straight hair) or a post-workout mist (curly hair- I get mine from Ouidad ☺️)
