Every moment we are together – from the street outside, to class, to back outside again – we have the opportunity to respect and appreciate one another. Here are some wise and gracious yogi etiquette guidelines…

Signing-In:

  • Please sign-in before every class and print LEGIBLY.
  • Signing-in for every class is essential for payment purposes and so that we can compensate our teachers according to class attendance.

Respect for the Studios:

  • Turn off all cell phones.
  • Remove shoes before entering the practice space.
  • Roll mats out quietly.

Class Etiquette:

  • Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class begins.
  • If you are taking class from a teacher who is new to you, arrive early to inform them of any injuries or conditions.
  • When you’re waiting outside, please be quiet as there may be a class in progress.
  • If you are late for unavoidable reasons, enter quietly and wait in back until after opening meditation – this is NOT the time to find your spot – then please join the class. If the class is full, be prepared to move your mat and allow the teacher to make a space for latecomers.

Cleanliness:

  • Please observe basic hygiene when attending yoga class.
  • Refrain from perfumes and oils as many people are allergic.
  • Consider bringing your own yoga mat; it is more hygienic.
  • Spray and wipe studio mats with provided spray and towels after use.
  • Stack props neatly. Place cotton blankets with fringes facing back.
  • Reduce skin-to-skin contact with our props by wearing a shirt. This also makes it easier for teachers to make adjustments.
  • If you tend to sweat, bring a towel to class.
  • Please do not use our blankets to wipe sweat from the floor or your body.
