Class Etiquette

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early. This allows time to find a space, set your mat down and collect your props without disturbing anyone. It also gives you an opportunity to get into the right mind-set. If you are late, please wait in the entrance room until after the teacher’s opening ritual — it could be a breathing exercise, a meditation, or opening chant— before entering.

Please bring your own yoga mat. We do not supply yoga mats.

Please remove your shoes in the hallway before entering the entrance room.

Please leave your belongings, especially your cellphone (on silent), in the small entrance room, to avoid clutter in the shala.

Please be mindful of others when entering the shala, keeping voices down and on-going conversations outside of the room as others might be settling into their practice. Please use the hallway or entrance area to socialize with one another before/after classes.

Let the teacher know of any physical conditions to address : (i.e. if you are menstruating, experiencing a migraine; any medical condition such as high blood pressure, glaucoma, heart conditions, etc.)

Please advise the teacher if you need to leave early. 

Be respectful towards the teacher, fellow students, and yourself.
