Help Keep the Studio Clean
- Please remove your shoes in the lobby - place them safely and neatly under the shelves.
- Remember to take your belongings with you after class, place empty plastic bottles in the recycling container, trash in trash cans and rented towels in the towel bin.
- Please pick up after yourself in the changing room (including hair in the shower drain).
- Only clear, colorless liquids are permitted in the yoga room. Please leave other drinks in the lobby.
(Also, please, no glass bottles).
Be Mindful
- Leave your ego with your shoes, outside the room.
- Please turn off your cell phones and pagers upon arrival.
- Maintain silence in the yoga room during and after class out of respect for your teacher and fellow students. Many students utilize the time before and after class to quietly meditate.
- Avoid wearing perfumes, colognes, scented lotions, oils, etc.
- Please leave keys or "jingly" jewelry outside of the yoga room.
- Focus only on yourself in the mirror.
- Please follow the instructions given by your teacher without talking back. Learn to listen.
This is a fundamental principle of this yoga.
- After class, leave quietly - walk softly, rolling your mat carefully, and shutting the door gently.
- All classes are 90 minutes - DO NOT leave class unless it is an emergency. If an emergency requires you to leave, please leave and re-enter between postures.
Please Be on Time
- Arrive 10 minutes early vs. five minutes late.
- Beginning breathing is vital to warm and prepare your body. All students must complete at least one full set of Pranayama Deep Breathing.
- The door is locked at the scheduled class start time. (Late arrivals admitted at the teacher's discretion.)
Walk a Narrow Path
- Please keep your shower time to a minimum, others need to use it as well - 2 or 3 minutes is sufficient to rinse yourself after a cleansing yoga class.
- Please keep your wet towels, mats and even your sweat within your own space.
- Please help the staff by picking up any empty bottles, forgotten items or other items left behind by those who may have a momentary lapse of reason.
- Please inform the staff of any discrepancies or shortages, messes or special needs.
- Have Fun! Enjoy the peace and energy you are taking with you from class, and make the commitment to return tomorrow!
- Teachers are always available for questions before and after class.
We all appreciate your help in creating a harmonious community and environment to facilitate your yoga practice.
THANK YOU,
