Q:  Where are you located?

A:  We are located just off the downtown Bentonville square, next to Sunny's, Onyx and the Walmart Neighborhood Market.  We are about 1.5 miles from Crystal Bridges and other Bentonville landmarks! 

​

Q:  Where should I park?

A:  There is a public parking garage next to the studio.  You can park on floors 2 and 3 during the specified times or in any parking lot denoted as public parking downtown.  There are lots of options!  There's often construction going on in downtown, so please give yourself time to get to class.

​

Q:  Can I take a class for free to try out the studio?

A:  We do not offer free classes.  You can pay a drop in or try out our intro offer!  This pricing offer is specifically so you can try out the studio.  We offer many ways to attend class and often host free outdoor classes.  

​

Q:  I've never done yoga.  Which class should I take?

A:  We recommend starting with slow flows.  These classes have less heat and are not as quick moving so you can learn the names of the poses and adapt to the pace of class.  Give yourself breaks as needed.  No need to force yourself to keep going when you need a break. 

​

Q:  Do I need to be flexible to do yoga?

A:  No!  Yoga can help you gain both strength and flexibility.  You come as you are and do what you can.  The teacher can help with variations of the poses as needed. 

​

Q:  What should I bring and wear to my first class?

A:  Bring a mat if you have one.  We recommend that you do not use the very soft and thick mats for flow classes as those mats tend to stretch as they get warm.  We have mats if you do not have one.  Bring water in a closed container and a hand towel if you are a heavy sweater.  However, we also offer sweat towels and have a water fountain for you to refill a bottle and offer water for purchase. Wear fitted clothes you can move in.  Please do not wear heavy perfume or cologne.

​

Q:  Is Yoga Story good for beginners?

A:  Yes!  We love beginners.  We always offer variations to poses as people learn and progress.  Your only job is to make sure you give yourself breaks, ask the teacher questions after class if you need clarification on anything and let us know if you have any injuries.  We want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience! 

​

Q:  What's the difference in hot, warm and room temp?

A:  We have 7 infared heaters in our studio.  In hot classes all 7 are turned on and the studio often gets to 90-95 degrees.  This is not a Bikram studio.  Warm classes use 3-4 heaters and are usually 80-85 degrees.  Room temps uses no heaters but is also not actively cooled or heated by the HVAC.

​

Q:  How often should I do yoga?

A:  As often as you want!  There are many styles of yoga, offering you a variety to chose from based on how your body is feeling that day.  To gain strength and flexibility 3-4x a week is ideal.

​

Q:  Do you offer private sessions or group sessions?

A: Yes, we do!  We do quite a bit of corporate sessions, bachelorette parties, couple sessions and individual sessions as well.  Rates depend on number of people and how long the session is.  We also offer specific styles of yoga training for people with specific needs and goals.

​

Q:  Do you offer training for those who want to become a yoga teacher?

A:  Yes, we are a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School and offer both 200 hour and 300 hour yoga teacher trainings.  Please see our training pages for more info on dates, cost and curriculum.
