Studio Etiquette
Arrive Early
Getting to class about 10 minutes early can help you settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the class. While you’re waiting you can practice a pose, do a few stretches, or just sit or lie quietly, breathe and get centered.
Injuries
Let your teacher know about injuries or conditions that might affect your practice. Listen to your body and honor your present energy level, ability and limitations by choosing a modification or a restorative pose.
Phones
Please do not bring cell phones or other sound making devices into class, so the peace of the practice is not disturbed. If you are caregiver and your phone is of vital importance, please make sure it is on silent.
Caution
DO NOT over exert yourself. Do what you can without straining or injuring yourself. You will advance faster if you have a loving attitude toward yourself and work from where you are, not from where you think you should be. Rest and restore when needed.
Heated Classes
Heated yoga can be intense. Feel free to sit, lie down or step outside if necessary. Bring or rent a towel as sweat can cause you to slip on your mat. Let your instructor know if you are feeling light headed or dizzy.
Cleanup
Be mindful and put away any props you use. If you borrow one of our mats, we ask that you wipe it down with the cleaner provided in each classroom.
Showers
Please be considerate of other people and limit your showers to 5 minutes or less.
Punctuality
Please do not enter class late or leave early whenever possible, as it can be disruptive to the experience of others.
