Allow for digestion. Most people find it uncomfortable to eat 2-3 hours before class. A light snack is usually okay, but it depends on your sensitivity.
Dress comfortably. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Your clothing must cover your torso, and you must not wear shorts.
Bring your mat. We recommend that regular students own their mat, but our studio does not have space for mat storage. We also provide community mats at no charge.
Come clean and unscented. With all the deep breathing, your neighbors will appreciate it if you skip the perfume and essential oils.
Come early. Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins, and you’ll have plenty of time to find parking, set up your space, use the bathroom, and get settled. Arriving late is a stressful way to start a yoga class!
Turn off your phone. Even phones on “silent” often still buzz loudly when they ring. Unless you must be available in an emergency, please turn your phone off or leave it in the car.
Talk to the teacher. If you have any physical conditions that require posture modification, tell your teacher, e.g., unregulated high blood pressure, recent surgery, herniated discs, osteoporosis, epilepsy, or pregnancy. Also, let us know if you prefer not to be adjusted by the teacher.
Blanket origami. Return your props neatly. Try to refold your blanket to match the pile.
Take your time. After a deep practice, jumping right in your car and driving away can be jarring – and potentially hazardous. Ensure your feet touch the floor when you walk out the door!
Hydrate. Drinking water helps your body flush out toxins released by all the stretching and twisting.
We understand that life happens, but please try to arrive at least 5 minutes before class begins. Our space is small, and late entry is disruptive for already settled students. Most teachers allow a 5-minute grace period if students are still talking and have not begun movement. Once centering or warm-ups start, the door is locked!
If it’s snowing like crazy, the roads are terrible around class time, or there’s a tornado warning, we may cancel or shift to Zoom-only. We will post a cancellation notice on the home page of this site and our Facebook page. If you have any doubts, check before getting in your car!
If you paid the monthly rate, you must use it that month. There are no Prepaids, Rollovers, or Refunds.
Special classes such as Aerial classes or workshops are not included in the monthly fee or the $5.00.
For cancellations, no refunds or credits will be given.
