Seriously, no experience necessary. Our teachers are some of the most experienced in East Dallas, and they expect beginners in every class. You’ll always be offered modifications to make poses more accessible—or more challenging—based on your needs. Slower Flow is a great choice for first-timers, thanks to its gentler pace. But truly, every class at YAM is taught with accessibility and inclusivity in mind. Want to ease in even more? Try a private session for one-on-one guidance. 💡 Pro tip: Arrive about 10 minutes early your first time so we can get you signed in, answer any questions, and help you settle in.

Comfort is key. Wear any type of athletic wear that allows you to move and stretch. No shoes needed—we practice barefoot.

Bring your own mat if you have one. We do have a few to borrow if needed. Many people like to bring a small towel, too. We provide blocks, blankets, and straps to support your practice. Don’t forget your water bottle, we have filtered water available for refills.

Nope! We keep our East Dallas yoga studio around 76°F ambient temperature—warm enough to help muscles open up, but not hot yoga.

Power Yoga may be heated to 80 depending on the instructors preference.

Best of alll, through the power of our breath, we can heat up (or cool down) from the inside out through movement and breath.

We love seeing families interested in yoga! Kids age 13 and up are welcome to attend as long as they can respectfully participate in class and a parent or guardian signs the waiver on their behalf. Please check in with us if you’re unsure—our team is happy to help.

Most common concern—and totally unnecessary! Yoga is not about touching your toes—it’s about connecting with your body, your breath, and your self-awareness. As long as your brain is willing to be flexible, the rest will follow. 

Our class beginning and ending times are paramount to the integrity of our practice. Out of respect for everyone (students and teachers alike), we lock the doors when class begins to keep the experience peaceful and distraction-free. If you must arrive late or leave early, just let us know in advance. Otherwise, we encourage you to enjoy the full class if possible.

Yes, we recommend signing in online ahead of time to reserve your spot—especially for our more popular classes and workshops*. This also helps our team prepare and welcome you properly. But you should never feel like you can’t show up for a class because you didn’t sign up.

*Many workshops have minimums and maximums, so it’s always best to sign up for those as soon as possible.

We do not offer returns on retail items. Please buy and book classes/workshops mindfully as refunds are not guaranteed. We are a small local business and appreciate your loving support.
