Class Etiquette

What is proper etiquette when arriving to class?
  • Kindly remove your shoes and place them in a cubby hole prior to entering the practice area.
  • Please turn off your cell phone, Blackberry, Bluetooth and any other device to avoid disruption.
  • Bring only capped/lidded beverages into the yoga space (e.g., water bottles with caps or travel mugs).
  • The instructor will close the doors to the yoga space 10 minutes into class to minimize disruption.  Therefore, plan on arriving at least 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled class to allow time for removing your belongings, signing in, and setting up your mat and props.
  • Please sIgn yourself in on the Sign-In Sheet.
  • If you have a "Class Pass" it should be presented for validation.  Drop-in students should pay in advance.
  • If class has started and the door is open, please enter silently and considerately.
  • If the door has shut then please do not enter class.

What is proper etiquette when departing class?
  • Neatly put away any props you have used during class: fold blankets, roll straps, and stack the blocks and bolsters.
  • Roll-up your personal mat and mindfully exit the practice area.
  • Please observe silence if others have chosen to remain in relaxation or meditation.

What else should I be mindful of?
  • Refrain from wearing perfumes or lotions that have strong fragrances as some students may be allergic.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move and relax.  Sweat pants, yoga pants, martial arts pants and comfortable shirts work best.
  • Avoid clothing so tight as to disrupt your ability to breath and relax.
  • Please consider bringing a hand towel (especially vigorous classes).
