Shared Agreements
To foster an inclusive space, we request that individuals pledge to uphold the following principles
-
Be curious.
Be curious, open, and respectful.
Throw sunshine not shade.
-
Be a good citizen.
We honor individual pronouns, identities, preferences, and differences.
If you are unaware of someone’s pronouns, share yours and ask for theirs.
-
Be Kind
Be conscious of intent vs. impact.
No matter intention, you’re responsible for your impact.
-
Give--and Take
If you don't usually take up space, try taking up more space. If you usually take up a lot of space, leave room for others. Try sharing if you normally don’t; try listening if you normally share.
-
Be Green
Our studio is a sacred space. Join us in using fragrance-free and biodegradable products (essential oils are okay!). This benefits chemically-sensitive folks as well as planet Earth. Our studio encourages students to bring reusable water bottles to reduce waste in the studio.
-
Respect all abilities
We create space for all abilities. This means keeping the entryway and back hallway clear, placing shoes on the shoe rack, and creating room for those who require additional access throughout the studio and in the asana space.
-
Practice body positivity.
We respect the presence of all body types in the studio whether students, instructors, or staff.
-
Honor your body.
Listen to your body. Stretch, drink water, rest when you need to, practice good hygiene, and foster healthy boundaries while in the studio.
Follow these helpful guidelines when attending class:
Remove shoes upon entry (here’s why).
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.
Please plan to arrive a little early—our doors open 15 minutes before class starts. To ensure everyone's safety and to avoid disrupting the flow of the class, we close the doors promptly when the class begins. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you warmly as you join us!
