Classes, props, recordings, logins etc...!

Published: Wed, 09/15/21

Hello and welcome to fall 2021 yoga classes!

The first week of classes is always a bit hectic, so please don't fret if you've missed a class, weren't sure what props to bring, or how to log in to Zoom. Hopefully this email finds you well, and clarifies everything that needs to be clarified, everything yoga related that is:) Please call me if you have any unanswered questions left - I'm here to help!

On-line Classes:

We are using a web-based program called Zoom. Zoom can be used on anything - phone, tablet or computer.
If you aren't familiar with Zoom, you will need a few minutes to download and install it on your device.

It helps to have all the usual class props ready and your mat rolled out wherever you are planning to practice
You can join with or without video. If you are choosing to use the video, experiment with your video set up before hand to make sure your camera is pointed at your mat - so I can see you!
You are welcome to join just one or both on-line classes: Pain Care Yoga - 6 PM on Mondays and Thursdays.

Once you have installed Zoom, you will see a screen inviting you to join a meeting. Here is your login info:

Meeting ID: 948 350 7605

Password: satoriyoga

You can also use this link to go to your class directly.

The login will remain the same for the duration of our session, so please save this information for future use. Gimme a shout at 780.5127573 (outside of class hours, please!) if you are having trouble with logging in.

Bonus: all on-line classes are recorded. Recordings will be sent via e-mail the day after the class - so no worries about missing a class!

Live Classes:

All live classes are happening at Love Life Hot Yoga.
I am usually there about 15 minutes before the class start, so feel free to arrive a little earlier and have a snooze before the class begins. I'll wake you up, I promise!
Please wear a mask in common areas; you can take it off once you are on your mat.
These classes aren't recorded - recording in the studio is infinitely more complicated than on Zoom (plus I am guessing you've registered for a in-studio class for a reason?!). If you happen to miss a class, you are welcome to attend one of the on-line Pain Care Yoga classes. The login is the same as for Pain Care classes.

Props substitution etc:

Here's a video I've made last year on the note on props and substitutes.

Please reply to this email if you are in need of props. I have a few items left.

Starting next week we will be using a theraband in all classes.

Not all therabands created equal!

Please make sure yours is at least 5 inches wide and 6-8 feet long.

It should be either red or green (standardized bands are colour coded for resistance they provide; if you buy a pink one from Winners no one will know what level of resistance it has).

The best place to purchase in Grande Prairie is a medi-supply store located across from Earnies. They sell standardized bands and you can buy any length of it, too.

Please bring your props to the live class (studio has some bolsters!), or have them nearby as you set up for on-line classes.

See you on the screen and on the other side!
