First and foremost: Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a total newbie, hello and welcome! We strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all to learn, grow, and go within.
Please take a moment to read the class descriptions on our website so that you can attend the classes that will best suit your needs, goals, and desired experience.
Arrive in comfortable clothing that allows you to move and stretch freely.
If you have a yoga mat, bring it! If you don’t, feel free to borrow one of ours. (Not all exercise mats are suitable for yoga, especially those with significant padding.)
Feel free to bring a water bottle (reusable, please!) if you tend to be thirsty. Our classes are not heated, but if your internal fire is strong, you may also prefer to bring a small towel.
As with any exercise, it’s recommended not to eat a large or heavy meal within the 2 hours leading up to class. A small, light snack, however, should be just fine :)
The studio door will be unlocked 15 minutes prior to class. We encourage you to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early so that you have time to relax and settle in before class. Once class begins, the door will be locked, so please be sure to arrive on time! It’s important to us that our students enjoy all 75 minutes of class time with minimal disruption.
Upon entering the studio, please remove your shoes and place them in one of our cubbies along with any other personal items that won’t be used during your practice. PLEASE be sure to turn your phone off or to Silent (not vibrate.) Check in with the instructor to let them know you’ve arrived, and inform them of any concerns, injuries, or health issues you may be working with. After that, simply choose a spot, unroll your mat, and shift into bliss mode :)
Take a moment now, if you haven’t already, to create an account on our booking software, StudioBookings. You can do so by downloading the free app, by following the Class Schedule link on our website, or by clicking the Book Now button on our page. Once you’ve created your account, you can sign our digital Liability Waiver, a one-time requirement before participating in any of our classes, workshops, or services. You can also buy class packages and sign into class before arriving at the studio! This will allow for a super easy and efficient check-in process before class, leaving you more time to relax! *Please note, time limits on class packages go into effect on the day they’re purchased, so you’ll want to purchase them the same day you plan to attend a class.
And last but not least, remember to enjoy the experience! Yoga is about exploring, understanding, and honoring the self. It is not a competition, a place for judgement, or a need for perfection. Our only prerequisites are an open mind and a willingness to learn. We can’t wait to share in your yoga journey. See you on the mat!
