Arrive Early to Warm Up
Studios are small and classes begin on time—arrive 10–15 minutes early to change, sign in, and warm up.

Grip socks improve traction on a studio mat if you prefer not to practice barefoot; instructors typically allow either.
Hydrate Before Class
Mediterranean sun dehydrates quickly—drink water before and after the session, especially in summer.
Combine with a Beach Visit
Bring a lightweight towel and sunscreen if you plan to walk to Golden Beach after class—it's a short trip and a good cool-down.
