the practice

congratulations on braving yourself to your very first yoga class!
we are ever so excited to have you attend your first class with karma yoga. 
for first-timers or if you’ve practiced yoga for less than 3 months, we recommend that you attend our hatha 1 class as the class is better paced for you with complexity that is catered for new yogis. 
all of our classes are designed to be accessible to all levels of experience, so if you decide to drop into a different class other than hatha 1, just let the teacher know that you are still new to the practice. our teachers will spend more time in your form and alignment and ensure you have a better understanding of what you are practicing. 
when attending your first class, we encourage you to arrive 15 minutes early so that you can inform the teachers and staff that you are a first-timer and get to know more about the practice and your body conditions. let your teacher know that you are new to yoga, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. we are here to make sure you feel welcomed, comfortable, and well-informed.
yoga is a sanskrit word where its literal meaning is to join in union. its textbook translation means the union of body, mind, and spirit. the practice of yoga encompasses many different aspects from breath, meditation, discipline, yoga postures, withdrawal of senses, focus, concentration, and much more.
yoga postures or more commonly known as asana practice helps to improve body strength, muscle toning, balance, and flexibility. all these are done with the focus on mental, physical, and emotional stability through breath and alignment. with consistent practice, the mind can experience stillness and we begin practicing not just yoga asanas but implementing them through life stressors.
every body’s recovery time is different so we recommend that you first consult with your doctor before practicing with us if you are working with an injury or any medical condition.
do inform your teacher of any injuries (major or minor) so that the teacher can guide you safely throughout the class and provide any modifications as necessary. do note that classes like krama and karma vinyasa can be vigorous and dynamic, and may not be ideal for post-injury practice. 
most importantly, listen to your body and take necessary precautions including rest which is the most optimal for any type of recovery.
we do not offer prenatal classes and we do not recommend taking up a yoga class for the first time during pregnancy. if you practiced yoga prior to pregnancy, we recommend that you check with your doctor before attending any of our classes. 
please inform the teacher before the start of class that you are pregnant, regardless of which trimester you are in. do note that practicing is at your own risk and it’s your responsibility to practice the modifications provided with extreme caution.
if you would like to join a private prenatal class, please enquire at the front desk separately.
yoga practice requires discipline, consistency, and commitment. to experience the true benefits of yoga, we recommend practicing three times per week. a practice of two to three times per week will create transformation over time. when you begin to cultivate dedication and discipline in your practice, your practice will transcend internally.

online practice

yes, the booking method and pricing are the same for online classes. your class link is within your booking confirmation email. check-in your spam folder if you did not receive your booking confirmation email.
make sure that you have the latest zoom app installed on your device. 
login to zoom and click on the class link provided from your booking confirmation. 
do arrive 10 minutes prior to class start time to settle in and inform teachers of any injuries. prepare any props you need for practice and a wall space nearby. ensure your surroundings are clutter-free to ensure safety in your practice. 
your video is mandatory to be turned on so that our teachers can guide you optimally. keep your audio muted and unmute only when necessary. 
sound quality can be different for you based on your device. you can use earphones/headphones/speakers to ensure you can follow the class easily. we recommend casting your device to a large screen so that you can follow the practice closely.
we highly do not recommend you to arrive late and miss any of the warm-ups that will prevent injury in the long run. however, we do understand that those who opt for online classes can sometimes be bogged down for several reasons. safety is of the utmost importance to us, hence we ask that you warm up by yourself before you continue your practice with us. do turn on your video so that the teacher can monitor your practice and provide any options that are more suitable for you if you missed the beginning of the class.
at karma yoga, the safety of our students is our no1 priority when it comes to practice. to practice and be guided by your teacher optimally, we require our students to have their cameras on so that we can provide the best guidance to you as though you are in an in-studio practice with us. you will be provided with modifications that suit your body based on the teacher’s observation. rest assured, no one else is looking at your practice other than the teacher. 
this guided experience requires all students and teachers to play their part so that the whole komuniti feels safe within the online practice. if you do not have your camera on, we are unable to verify your identity, and furthermore, we wouldn’t know if you are really practicing, or you could be an outsider with malicious intent. to provide ease of mind to every single yogi, we keep our videos on. if you are shy about your surroundings, you have the option to use the filter to blur your background. 
this mandatory rule is set to safeguard everyone and is a final decision by the management and teachers combined. failure to adhere to our set rules will result in you being removed from class, with no prejudice. we ask that you ensure you understand this rule before signing up for our online class.
we do not offer any recording of classes as we believe this is not optimal for practice.
for every class we run at karma yoga, a minimum headcount is required for us to keep our operations running smoothly and for us to be able to pay our teachers at full rate, pay for karma yoga studio amenities and maintenance fees, and most importantly to keep our prices at it’s lowest for you. this is true even for online classes.
without cancellation fees, we run losses that will disable us to continue providing you with these services. on top of that, we are unable to serve students who can really make it to class if the class is fully booked. 
hence, we ask that you book mindfully and adhere to our class cancellation policies.
