Preparation for Online Yoga

Technical

• Make sure your device is fully charged
• Close your web pages and all other applications to maximise the Zoom App
• If you require we can do a ‘tech meet up’ prior to your first class subject to a mutually convenient time being available
  
• Equipment/ Props
  Yoga Mat- at home alternative practice on the carpet or bath towel for hard flooring
  Blocks – at home alternative: Books preferably hard back
  Blankets / towels etc for sitting on, kneeling on or for cover
  Bolsters – at home alternative: Pillows, cushions, full backpack with a couple of blankets over the top
  Straps – at home alternative: Belt, scarf
  If you want to work against the wall again please set yourself up near the wall
  Your environment/space
  Quiet open space
  Good lighting so I can see you – Please have video on so I can see you at least at the start
  Make sure your device screen is in front of you and you can see it clearly
  Turn off your phone
  One thing I learnt is that in order for you to hear me I need to project my voice and your volume needs to be high enough for you to hear.
  Please let family members know as its not just will they disturb you but will the audio disturb them
  Joining Class
  Join the Zoom meeting no earlier than 10 minutes before the class start time. You can paste the Zoom class link (URL) from the email I will send you on the day of the class, to your web browser or by clicking “Join a Meeting” on the app on your phone/tablet.
  If I am not yet connected, please leave the meeting and wait a couple of minutes to re-join (all classes will be ‘open’ for you to join ten minutes prior to the start time)
  If you remain connected you may make it impossible for the class to go ahead!
  After checking in with me all students will be asked to mute their microphones. This will look different on each device but it should show clearly on the main Zoom screen. Or I will mute all.
  You are also welcome to hide your own video once we start but I recommend keeping it on for the complete class for your safety so that I can see you and help you as necessary with cues and/or tips during the practice.

 

PLEASE EMAIL ME ANY HEALTH ISSUES BEFORE JOINING THE CLASS I am particularly interested to hear from you if you are pregnant, have had recent surgery or have an injury.
