STUDIO Etiquette

ARRIVE EARLY

The studio opens 25 minutes before the start of a class. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to find parking and to sign-in. Be mindful as you enter the hot room and quietly set up your mat and props. For some people, those few minutes before class is the only quiet time in their day. The doors will be closed once class begins and late entries will not be permitted.

BE MINDFUL OF PARKIING

We have designated parking spots in the parking lot at the studio. Please do not park in other tenant’s spots during their open hours or you will be ticketed and towed.

Mat Alignment and Set Up

Align the top centre of your mat with a sticker on the floor. If you’re new or need to modify postures, please set up at the back of the room, so you do not distract others. Extra sweaty? Bring in an extra towel to wipe up the floor around you.

Valuables and Personal Items

Please do not bring any valuables to the studio as we do not have lockers at the studios. The studio will not be held responsible for missing items. A mat, towel and water are all that are required inside the hot yoga room.

UNPLUG AND DISCONNECT

Yoga is all about being mindful, which is hard to do when you are checking your phone or taking selfies. For the sake of your own and other students’ focus, mobile phones are not allowed in the hot room. If you are expecting an emergency call, let your teacher know before class, and set your phone to vibrate.

practice scent-free

Many people are sensitive to smells, so avoid wearing perfume, scented lotions, or essential oils during yoga class. Warm bodies and movement will only amplify these scents. And if you love onions, garlic, and other pungent foods, save them for after class. Wash your yoga mat and clothes regularly so that your fellow yogis have an enjoyable class.

Stay in the Room

Stay in the room until the instructor closes the class with "Namaste". Out of respect for your instructor and fellow students, classes start and finish together. If you cannot complete an entire class, we ask that you do not attend.

Take it Easy

Do not be scared off by the heat. Go at your own pace and listen to your body. Take rest if you need to, you do not have to do every posture. Please let your instructor know if you have any injuries or medical concerns.

Remember to Hydrate

Come to the studio well hydrated. Eat lightly 2-3 hours prior to your practice. Drink plenty of water during and after your class. Adding electrolytes can also be beneficial.
