Expectations and Etiquette
Arrive early
(Especially if it’s your first class.) This allows time to find a space, unroll your mat and collect your props (any blankets, bolsters, blocks or straps you need to modify poses) without disturbing anyone. It also gives you an opportunity to get into the right mind-set. If a class is posted for 2pm then everyone should be on their mats at that time, not entering the building at that time. When you enter the front door of the building the studio is the first door on your
right however you will walk down the hallway to the 3rd door on your right where you can check in and leave your belongings, including your shoes as they are not allowed in the studio.
Tell your teacher about any injuries
Many teachers like to give gentle (or sometimes more intense) assists in class, like guiding you deeper into a pose or shifting your position to correct misalignment. If you’re sore, injured or just don’t feel like being touched, tell your teacher before class begins. It is always appropriate to talk to the instructor about any existing physical conditions and concerns you have about
them.
Mind your personal hygiene
Unfortunately we don't have showers, please arrive with your body and clothes clean and mind heavy perfumes, oils, and colognes, as strong scents travel easily during class.
Be aware of your space
Yoga classes can get packed; when the last-minute stragglers file in, you’ll often see them scanning the room for a strategic spot to roll out their mat. Be neighborly by making room
for them, if it’s available.
In a less-packed class, it’s common courtesy to stagger your mats so that the person behind you has a clear view of the teacher and the mirror.
Lastly, mind your steps: it’s polite to avoid walking on a fellow yogi’s mat.
Minimize conversation
Many studios are considered a space for reflection, self-study, and focus, and maintaining a quiet atmosphere (if not an altogether silent one) supports this frame of mind. Granted, there are studios that have an air of social happy hour before class begins, and you’ll know this immediately upon walking in. But if the studio is quiet and meditative, keep it that way by refraining from chitchat. It’s not only polite, but it’s beneficial to your own state of mind.
We love our yoga community and encourage people to reach out and make friends Please remain quiet through out the practice and we welcome fun socializing after class. Please do not talk while others are in Savasana. The teacher may leave you and fellow students to rest. This is not a time to talk to neighbor, please leave the room quietly before the chatting begins.
Clean up with the mat spray and towel provided.
Make sure if you have to bring a cell phone in that it is turned to silent, not vibrate.
Bring water to stay hydrated, a yoga mat if you have one and a towel. We have mats available if you do not have one. You may want to purchase your own mat for reasons of personal hygiene and regularity of practice.
Athletic clothing where the instructor can have a good idea of your body alignment, and at the same time clothes that are comfortable, fast drying and do not restrict your movement.
Yoga can be very beneficial during pregnancy, but make sure to let your instructor know you are pregnant. Make sure to avoid twisting, inversions, pranayama, any abdominal strengthening pose and lying on your belly. Remember, balancing poses may get tougher as you progress in your pregnancy so use the wall or blocks to keep yourself balanced and stay in the pose longer. Make sure to drink plenty of water and take bathroom breaks whenever needed.
