Remove shoes upon entering the studio. Then sign in before entering the yoga room.

We observe Mouna in the yoga room prior to the start of class.  Mouna is the yogic observance of silence. If you need to catch up with your friends before class starts, please do so in the reception area with a lowered voice so as not to disturb those already in the yoga room.

Arrive early, so you have time to park, check in, put your things away, and set up your personal space in the yoga room. It is good to arrive early enough to be able to spend a little quiet time on your mat, centering yourself before class begins, letting go of the distractions of the day. If you walk in the door at the time class is scheduled to begin, you are late. We understand that sometimes circumstances out of your control may arise, that might prevent you from arriving early. We still welcome you to come to class. Be respectful of your fellow students and teacher as you enter the room. All classes begin and end promptly on time.

If it is your first time to our studio, please arrive 15 minutes early so there is enough time to enter you into our system prior to class. You may also do this ahead of time online without paying or committing yourself to any particular class by signing up here.

To get the most out of your experience, stay until the class is over. If you need to leave early, let the teacher know before class, and the teacher will let you know at what point in the class is best for you to take savasana, then roll up your mat. So as not to disturb your fellow students, please gather your things and leave quietly.

It is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach, so wait at least two hours after a meal to practice, or one hour after a light snack. 

It is best to hydrate before and after class. This is not hot yoga. You shouldn’t need a water bottle in most of our classes.

Shower before coming to class and wear clean clothes. Soucha (cleanliness or purity in body, surroundings, diet) is one of the tenets of yoga. Do it out of respect for yourself, your teacher, and your fellow students.

Turn off your phone and leave it in the prop room; or better yet, leave it in your car.

Refrain from wearing perfume or scented lotion or oil. 

Do not chew gum in class.

Try not to step on other people’s mats.

Inform the teacher prior to class if you have any injuries.

Should the room be so full that mats are very close together, be mindful of your personal space. Try to keep your limbs over your own mat to avoid hitting your neighbor. This might mean making some modifications, especially during sun salutations. 

Avoid chatting during class. This is distracting to others around you and disrespectful to the teacher.

Don’t make a mess in the prop room. Put things away neatly out of respect for the students coming to class after you leave.

Enjoy your yoga practice. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t compare yourselves to anyone else. Don’t do anything that hurts, or doesn’t feel right for your body. This is your practice and every body is different. Modify postures when necessary. Always stay centered in your breath.
