These are simple to follow, easily modifiable and doable for all while still providing a great workout with results. BASIC class line up: Any Better Backs Yoga class, Walk About, Weight Training for Better Bone Health and Chair Yoga. For further direction please stop by the front desk and speak with a desk manager. They are well versed on our classes and instructors and will steer you in the right direction.

If I join Body Language can I go to both the fitness classes and the yoga classes?

Yes, all memberships include fitness and yoga. There are both virtual and in-studio classes to choose from. We encourage you to enjoy a variety of classes.

How old do you have to be to come to take class?

We would love to have your children practice yoga and /or workout with you. Body Language does not set any rigid rules regarding appropriate age for Yoga. As long as you feel your son or daughter will not disturb the other students around him or her then he/she is welcome. For fitness classes children must be 12 years of age or older, unless prior approval is received.

I am from out of town, do I get my first class free?

We do not offer a first class free at Body Language or out of town discounts. You could buy our New Member Special, one of our Class Packs, or pay our drop-in rate.

Is there a place to change?

Yes, we have two changing rooms and three bathrooms.

What should I bring and wear?

You should wear clothes that are comfortable and do not restrict your ability to move. You can bring a water and towel to class.

For yoga and fitness classes bring your own mat.

For fitness classes bring a pair of workout shoes. Shoes are not needed for some of our fitness classes (barre and pilates). We recommend grippy socks which are available in our boutique.

Studio etiquette, what do I need to know?

• Please try to arrive to class approximately five to ten minutes before class.

• Do not bring cell phones into class.

• Please bring your fitness shoes in, do not wear them in from outside. This helps keep the fitness room floors free of dirt, salt, water etc.

• The yoga room is a quiet place so please keep conversations in our designated social area, the Link.

YOGA

I'm new to yoga, which class is best for me?

We generally recommend that students new to yoga begin with a Better Backs class. The teachers are trained to be able to guide all students regardless of level of experience in and out of every posture.

Can I lose weight doing yoga?

Yoga promotes weight loss on several levels.

• First it is a physical workout that burns calories as well as tones muscles. The results are a more sculpted body as well as stronger muscles and bones.

• Secondly, it promotes awareness. Students who practice yoga will move through the rest of their day (including meals) paying closer attention to hunger cues and are more likely to match their food intake with their actual needs.

• Lastly, the calming effect of yoga actually creates a willingness by the body to let go of unneeded fat stores. Whenever the body and mind are in a relaxed state the inevitable result is more successful weight management.

Do I have to be flexible to do yoga?

Absolutely NOT!! The intention of yoga is to make you MORE flexible but wherever you are is where you start. Flexibility WILL increase if you keep coming to your mat!

FITNESS

I'm new to fitness, which class is best for me?

All of our fitness classes can be adjusted to your own level. For example, if an instructor asks you to grab a light weight and a heavy weight it is up to you to decide what you consider light and heavy, giving you the ability to adjust each class to your level and preferred intensity..

Do I need to bring any equipment?

Please bring shoes to workout in and a mat or towel for floor exercises.
