Welcome to Down Dog Yoga Chesapeake. We're so glad you're here. Here's everything you need to feel confident, prepared, and at home before your very first class.
Head to our schedule and find a class that works for your day. You can register directly from the schedule — it only takes a moment. Once you're signed up, you'll receive a confirmation and any class details you need.
Not sure which class to start with? Any class marked for all levels is a wonderful place to begin. Our instructors are experienced at welcoming new students and will always offer modifications.
Browse the ScheduleWe want you to arrive with ease — here's what to bring and what we've already taken care of for you.
Wear clothing you can move freely in. Layers are great if you run cool.
Stay hydrated before and after class. We ask that you avoid eating a heavy meal 1-2 hours before practice.
That's truly all you need. Every practice is different — just show up and let it unfold.
Mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets are all available for your use — no need to bring your own.
We ask that you plan to arrive 5 to 10 minutes before class begins. This gives you time to check in, get settled, and ease into your practice without any rush.
When you arrive, stop by the front and let our staff know you're here. We'll get you checked in and pointed in the right direction.
Head into the studio and choose a spot that feels comfortable. Grab any props you'd like from the prop area — mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets are all available.
We ask that conversation before class is kept to a low whisper. This helps everyone settle into a calm, focused headspace and honors the practice of those already in the room.
Once class begins, the studio door will be locked. This protects the flow and focus of the class for everyone inside. Please plan ahead so you're settled and ready before we begin.
Check the schedule, find a time that works for you, and we'll see you on the mat. Arrive 5-10 minutes early and come as you are — we'll take care of the rest.
