- How many times per week should I practice?

If you have any concerns, please consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Many of our students have developed a consistent practice by practicing 3 or more times a week.

- Is it true that yoga at The Mat can be fun?

Yes! We have the best teachers who help make yoga fun and interesting. You'll learn something new in every class, and many times you'll laugh, too.

- How can yoga help me?

Yoga is much more than a workout. It's a way of life. With a consistent practice, you'll build strength and flexibility, reduce stress, calm your mind, connect with others, and so much more. Sign up for our 3 weeks for $39 introductory offer and you'll soon see for yourself!

- Where do I start?

All classes are appropriate for beginners. Most students start with a Gentle Flow class and branch out once they feel comfortable. Visit the Class Descriptions page to learn more about each class type.

- Do I need to bring a mat?

You can bring your own mat or you can rent one for $1 cash. We also have a selection of yoga mats available for purchase in a variety of colors.

- If I am late for class, will I still be able to attend?

We start and end class on time. We do this out of respect for your schedule and as a matter of safety. Once class has begun, we lock the front door. If you're running late, we hope to see you at the next class.

- How does yoga help with flexibility?

It's never too late to improve your flexibility, and you may be surprised how quickly you notice a difference.

- How can yoga help with posture?

Better posture is one of those benefits that sneaks up on you. As your core gets stronger and your body awareness grows, you'll naturally start to stand and sit taller, and notice much more quickly when you're not.

- Is this hot yoga?

We keep the temperature of the yoga rooms between 78 and 80 degrees. We like the room to feel warm but not hot.
