Which class should a beginner attend?
Level 1 or open level APY classes are specifically designed for beginners. All the instruction is complete and in English. Every instructor will offer modifications as well as intensifications so that every one who attends can safely get the most out of each class.
What should I wear?
Simply wear comfortable clothes that you can move around easily in and don't mind sweating in.
What should I bring?
You will need a mat and a towel. We rent and sell mats at each studio or you can simply bring your own. Water is also available at each APY studio.
How often should I come?
APY is a mental practice, but it will also greatly improve physical condition. Some is better than none, but with two classes a week you will slowly begin to feel and see results. Three times a week is a great way to discover the benefits of APY almost immediately. Five times a week or more will simply change your life.
What is an APY Level 2 class?
APY Level 2 classes are designed for practitioners who wish to explore a more intense APY practice. In a level 2 class APY instructors can offer poses and movements that are a little more challenging and not as easily modifiable. Also, APY instructors can offer various themes and deeper or more complicated meditations. The only requirements are that the practitioner is familiar with a sun salutation, has enough core strength to feel comfortable in an upper push up position, and wants to explore the practice more.
How long are the classes?
Almost all APY classes are one hour. Extended classes and Level 2 classes are noted on the calendars. For each studio they can be found at AmericanPowerYoga.com.
I can't make it to class or I don't live near a studio. Are there any other ways for me to get APY?
Yes! There are multiple ways you can still experience APY.

Do I have to sign up for class first?
No, just come up to any class time that is convenient for you. Once you are set up with a user id and passcode our software does offer a reservation service, but it is not a requirement.
How early should I arrive for my first class?
We recommend about 10-15 minutes before class time. There is one client information sheet to fill out that takes about a minute. Just let the girl or guy at the desk know that you want to sign up for $5 challenge!
