Studio
Etiquette
first
class
New students please arrive 15-20 minutes early to fill out your new client form
and liability statement.
Bring a yoga mat, a large towel and water. For your convenience we also
rent and sell these items. Do not eat within two hours before class. Do
hydrate well and wear light weight, not too tight, not too loose
clothing. Classes begin promptly.
Be sure to read about the classes we offer on class offerings and refer
to our online class schedule to find the right class time for you.
be on time
Late entry to a class is disruptive to
the energy we are trying to create. If you MUST be late (and it us under
10 minutes), please tap on the door. If you are more than 10 minutes late we
would ask that you consider attending another class since you will have missed
the warm up and sun salutations which are important to the practice and help
warm the body and decrease injury.
sign in
at the front desk before class and make sure you sign
in for the correct class.
personal belongings
should be stored in the lobby in the cubby
holes provided. Only mat, towel and water should be taken into the yoga
room. (we lock the front door during classes)
quiet in the yoga room.
The yoga room is sacred space...please enter with a peaceful mindset. You are welcome to converse with fellow yogis
in the lobby, however please refrain from talking in the
yoga room.
lost and found
Please take your belongings home each day. We do
not have the space to keep mats, towels and water bottles. Call right
away if you leave something and we will look for it and put it aside. We
are not responsible for items left behind. Mats left longer than two
weeks will be added to the rental mats.
props
We work hard to provide and present a clean and orderly
yoga studio. Do your part by consciously replacing the props and
blankets you use
just as you found them. Folding the blankets neatly as you took them. This way the next time you come in you will be
greeted with the neat and tidy studio you have come to expect.
savasana (end of class)
The final savasana at the end of class is very important. It is recommended to lie calmly for at least five minutes
for every half hour of practice, so ideally you would rest for 15
minutes after your class. Verse 32 of the first chapter of the Hatha
Yoga Pradipika states: “Lying upon one’s back on the ground at full
length like a corpse is called Savasana. This removes fatigue caused by
the other asanas and induces calmness of mind. Steady, smooth, fine and
deep breathing without any jerky movements of the body soothes the
nerves and calms the mind. The stresses of modern civilization are a
strain on the nerves for which Savasana is the best antidote.” If you
cannot stay for at least 3 full minutes of savasana, we ask that you
exit before so that others can enjoy this time quietly.
feedback
We welcome and consciously consider any and all input
from students. Suggested input would be: Class times, yoga styles,
teachers, new classes, retail, front desk…any area of your studio life
is open to your input. Help us to be the best studio for you.
have fun
explore, learn and enjoy your time here. |
