Yoga Room Etiquette
Please be considerate of your fellow students
Before Class
-
Arrive at least 10 minutes before class begins. Once the teacher enters the yoga room and class begins, you will not be allowed into the room.
-
Never bring cell phones and/or pagers into the class room!
-
Drink plenty of water throughout the day before coming to class. Hydration is very important.
-
Sign in and print legibly.
-
First time students should arrive 20 minutes before class begins to fill out a registration card and get acquainted with the studio.
-
Bring, rent or purchase a yoga mat, towel (beach-sized, to cover your mat) and water.
-
Have clean feet and be perfume free.
-
Ask questions either before or after class, but not during the class.
During Class
-
Refrain from talking in the yoga room. Many students use the time before class to quietly meditate and center themselves as they prepare for class.
-
Do not obstruct another student’s mirror space. Be courteous and make room to accommodate others.
-
Do your very best to stay in the yoga room once class begins. If an emergency requires you to leave, please leave and re-enter between postures.
-
You may bring bottled water into class with you — the teacher will indicate the points during class when everyone takes their water breaks.
-
While you may use your hand towel to dry your hands to help with your grip, please refrain from wiping away your sweat throughout the class.
-
Practice stillness between postures.
-
Honor the silence of the room by moving quietly.
-
Focus on only yourself in the mirror
-
Do not talk during class
After Class
-
Observe silence after the final savasana — meditation.
-
Leave the room quietly. Respect others.
-
Return rented towels and mats to the appropriately marked bins.
-
Enjoy the peace and energy you’re taking with you from class, and make up your mind to come back tomorrow!
