As always with Triangle Yoga, please remember to arrive early:

* their events fill up quickly!

* if you're driving, you'll need time to park. TY is on the third
  floor of a building (930 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill,
  just southeast of Estes and MLK,

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=930+Martin+Luther+King+Jr.+Blvd%2C+Chapel+Hill%2C+NC

  just south of the CHill YMCA) with several other organizations, so
  their lot can fill up quickly.

* consider not driving! Chapel Hill is a great town to bike, and MLK
  has good bike lanes. Furthermore CHill has good (and free!) public
  transit, and Triangle Yoga is served by the NU and T routes on
  Saturdays (see

http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/index.aspx?page=736
http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/index.aspx?page=737

  ). You can even ride your bike to/from the bus and put it on the
  bike rack while you ride the bus.

* once inside, you'll need time to find the room used by this class
  (they have several), fill out their registration and release (if you
  haven't already), sign in, find a mat (they provide mats and props),
  and get settled.
