YOGA CLASS ETIQUETTE

Arrive early to prepare mind and body. Arrive with enough time to change, find a space and arrange your mat and props. Keep conversations to a minimum. Your time before class should be spent in mindful breath, gentle stretching and internal focus—a late arrival means you miss out on these benefits.
Unclutter the Yoga space. Personal belongings should be placed away from the yoga space, keeping just your blocks or water nearby. Less clutter means less distraction and more space to move freely.
Honor your body. During your practice, pay attention to signs of discomfort and modify your postures or ease off accordingly. Don’t compare yourself to others as every BODY looks different in every pose.
Plan to stay for the whole class. If you must leave early, please inform the teacher before class and leave before the start of Savasana to minimize any disturbance.
Turn off your cellphone. Allow yourself time to disconnect from the world and give your body and mind the gift of complete presence.
Inform the teacher of any injuries or health issues that may affect your practice as different options can be offered during the class.
