Booking classes

We recommend booking classes prior to arrival; however, you are always welcome to drop in at the last minute!

Schedule

We have a variety of classes to choose from at a variety of times throughout the day. We highly recommend using your membership to attend a variety of classes and meet different teachers to find out what fits your wellness goals best! If you like a particular class, time, and/or teacher, your attendance is your vote for that class! We will be updating the schedule every quarter.

Ability levels

All of our classes are all levels, and our instructors are excellent at providing modifications for students, whether you’re completely new to yoga, advanced, or have an injury.

Class cancellations and no-shows

We realize that sometimes things come up and cancelling in advance is unavoidable; however, it is recommended that if you need to cancel a booked class, you do so with a minimum of two (2) hours of your booked class. Instructors have lovingly prepared their classes, and we are all about respect for the craft. Additionally, cancelling in advance ensures space for other students and allows your instructor to prepare appropriately for class size. Late cancellations and no-shows will result in a $15 fee to the account; class pack holders or drop-ins that late cancel or no-show will lose a class pass.

Preparing for class

Follow these helpful guidelines when attending class:

  • Wear comfortable clothes that breathe and allow you to move freely.

  • Avoid eating a heavy meal 1 to 2 hours before practice.

  • Avoid perfumes and scents; essential oils are welcome.

  • Bring your yoga mat and a water bottle. We have bolsters, blankets, blocks, eye pillows, and straps to lend, along with a limited number of yoga mats. We also have a water cooler for cold water, and a tea station for before and after class. ♥️

  • We are not a hot yoga studio so towels are not required.

  • Arrive early. Doors open 15 minutes before class starts. 

Shared Agreements

Please read our Shared Agreements. These agreements are a set of principles and studio etiquette we expect all students, staff, and teachers to uphold while in the studio. Our studio is a sacred space, and we believe that these principles help to foster an inclusive space, free of judgement of self or others, and to allow the most beneficial practice for all, building a beautiful community.

Arriving at the studio

Your class experience

We are in the same building as the bowling alley, located on the south side of the building.

Parking

We have plenty of parking right out in front of our space and to the west of the building.

Arrival time

Arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the start of class to give yourself time to set up.  The doors close promptly at class start times and will not be opened to late arrivals for safety reasons and to respect the space and everyone's class experience.

Setting up

When you enter, you may hang up your coat and bag, and place your shoes on the bench. Lay out your mat, grab your props, and use the restroom. Grab a tea if you have time. Please keep your voice to a whisper to respect the space and allow everyone to settle in quietly. (Restrooms are located in the common hallway behind the studio.)

We have all. the props you will need for your yoga classes. We recommend bringing your own yoga mat but we do have some to lend for no charge.

Adjustment cards

Instructors may offer hands-on adjustments during class. If so, they will remind you to grab a consent card, which you can place at the top of your mat. This lets instructors know whether you are open or not to hands-on adjustments while in a pose.

Connect with your instructor

If you have any physical limitations, injuries, are pregnant, or have sensitivities to incense, please let your instructor know. This information will allow them to work with you on modifications and adjustments and to make the space pleasant for all.

HONOR YOURSELF

In every yoga class, honor your body's unique rhythm. If you ever feel overwhelmed, please listen to your body, mind, and spirit and take a seat or lie down, reconnect with your breath, and rejoin when ready. Child’s Pose is an excellent pose to use when reconnecting with yourself. Embrace poses that resonate and modify or skip those that don't. Just commit to staying for the entire class.

After class

Build community

We encourage you to grab a tea 🍵 and chat with other students and the instructor--start to build your yoga community! Your instructor will be available after class to answer any questions you may have.

RETURNING PROPS

After class, please put away your props. We have mat cleaner if you would like to clean off your mat.

Exiting the space

Please exit the space quietly as you leave.

Cancelling a class

Practicing yoga regularly enables you to maintain a healthy habit. Commit to your wellbeing! That said, we know things happen at the last minute, so:

  • If you need to cancel a booked class, use the Walla app.

  • We require at least 2 hours' notice to cancel a booked class--more time is better. As mentioned above, cancelling with notice allows space for other students to attend and for your instructor to prepare for class size.

  • Fees: Any class cancelled inside the required 2-hour window, or any no-show to a class will see a $15 charge to the account. Drop-ins and class pack holders will loose their class.

Most of all…

Our studio is a space for rest, rejuvenation, wellness, and comfort. THANK YOU SO MUCH for joining our community! The best way to get the most value out of your membership with us is to attend two to three classes per week, experiencing the variety of styles and instructors.
