Are there any times I should avoid class?

If you are feeling unwell at all it is not advisable to practice in the hot room as you may become dehydrated and feel worse. We ask everyone to complete a health questionnaire before class.

How soon before class should I eat?

It is not advisable to eat anything up to 2 hours before class as a full stomach can make you feel very sick in the hot room. If you really need to eat something, a banana or small snack half an hour before class is ok.
