Our commitment to you
 
We are committed to providing safe and healthy practice spaces for everyone. The studio is large with high ceilings and excellent air circulation. We keep the windows open for fresh air when possible. Thank you for your thoughtful attention to the following protocols. Please email Rachel at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
 
Preparing for class
  • Please do not come to the studio if you are not feeling well or have any COVID-19 symptoms.
  • Bring your own yoga mat, props, a water bottle, etc. The studio has blankets to borrow, if you wish, as well as yoga mats, if you forget yours!
Arrival and attendance
  • Please arrive 5-10 minutes early.
  • Please leave your shoes in the hallway.
  • Enter the studio and roll out your mat at least 6 feet away from another student.
  • The teacher will record your attendance and use of your class pass, if appropriate.
  • Enjoy your practice!
Other helpful tips
  • Avoid eating 1 hour before class.
  • Wear comfortable layers that are easy to move in.
  • Please refrain from fragrant oils, perfumes, or lotions so that the studio air is clear.
  • For yoga classes, please bring your own mat.
  • Cell phone free studio! Please leave phones in your car or your belongings outside the studio.
  • Bring a water bottle. 
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of class. This gives you time to sign in, take off your shoes and socks, use the bathroom, roll out your mat, and settle in
  • Take time to visit with new and old friends before and after class, but please be mindful that some students arrive and seek quiet space before class.
  • Talk with your teacher before class if you have health concerns, injuries, or if you are pregnant. Always get cleared by a doctor before starting a practice.
  • Classes begin and end on time. Thank you for your courtesy.
  • Most yoga classes include chanting. If you feel comfortable joining in, please do. You are also welcome to listen.
  • Please use quiet voices in the stairwell and hallways. There are other wellness practitioners offering massage and counseling services on the second floor. Thank you.
