New Student Yoga Etiquette

Come 10-15 minutes early to sign up. Bring a water bottle, hand towel or large towel if you sweat a lot, and mat, first visit you can use one of our mats free.
Let the teacher know if you have any injuries. Move at your own pace.
Classes are performed barefoot. Please wear comfortable clothes, including shirts that are fitted enough to stay put when going upside down for your first downward facing dog pose.
When entering the studio, remove your shoes. Shoe racks are at both the front and back door of the main studio.
Mat rentals are free for your first visit, and a $1 rental after (we sell mats.)

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.

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.

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.
Avoid clothing so tight as to disrupt your ability to breath and relax.
Please consider bringing a hand towel (especially vigorous classes).
