Studio Etiquette

  • We recommend you register ahead of time for class on our Schedule page by logging into mindbody or by using the mindbody mobile app. You can also walk-in, but spots are first come, first serve. On rare occasions, a class may be at capacity.

  • -Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of class.

    -The door is often locked at the start of class time and during class time.

    -Classes start promptly at the designated start time and late arrivals can be disruptive.

    -Please be scent-free: no perfumes, colognes, or heavily-scented lotions.

  • There is a parking lot at the back of the building with parking for all teachers and students.

  • -Check in on the iPad at the front desk, or with the front desk team member upon arrival.

    -Please remove your shoes and store them on a shoe tray or under a bench.

    -Leave bags and personal belongings, including cell phones, in the cubbies or on the hooks.

    -Place your cell phone on vibrate or do not disturb.

    -If you have a smart watch, make sure to turn it on silent.

  • -The studio has complimentary mats, blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps available for student use.

    -If you use our props, please spray them with the supplied bottle of isopropyl alcohol before putting them back.

  • -Please be on your mat with everything you need 2 minutes prior to the start of class.

    -Once you enter the studio space, please use a quiet indoor voice if you are talking before the start of class.

    -The studio doors are closed right at the start of class.

    -Try to stagger yourself so you’re not right in front of someone.

    -Most students take pre-class time to relax and stretch on their mats.

    -Plan to stay for the entire duration of the class, but if you need to step out at any time during the class, please do so quietly.

    -Take rests in any comfortable position as often as needed.

    -This is YOUR practice. Be kind to yourself!
