Studio Etiquette
Before Class:
-
Be on time. Arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins if possible to allow yourself to settle in.
-
We recommend downloading the Mindbody Online app to schedule classes. This is the easiest way to book, cancel and make purchases.
-
You must be in good health to take class. If you are showing symptoms of being unwell you will be asked to leave and come back when you are better.
-
Turn off cell phones and leave them out of the room.
-
No shoes in the yoga room.
-
Use the time before class to quiet down, stretch, meditate and relax. Maintain silence in the yoga room.
-
When finding a spot in the studio, please do so quietly. Please be considerate of those around you.
-
Please do not block another person’s view of the mirror. In a full classroom, you need only see a portion of yourself in the mirror. Adjust your mat as needed to accommodate others.
-
Have clean feet and be perfume free. In consideration for those with sensitivities or allergies, please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or strongly scented products in the studio.
-
The yoga studio is a smoke-free environment. If you do smoke, please shower before class.
-
No gum or glass bottles in the yoga room.
-
Do not bring anything but towels, mat, and water into the yoga room. Leave bags, purses and all other items in the lockers (bring a lock) or at home.
-
San Diego Yoga Center requires that all students must use a mat and large/beach-sized towel (for hot classes). If you don't have either, we have them for sale.
-
Please leave valuables at home or locked in a locker. San Diego Yoga Center does not accept responsibility for any valuables that are brought in and are lost or stolen.
​
During Class:
-
Please practice silence in the yoga room, hold conversations outside in the lobby or hallway.
-
Listen to instructions and try your best. Yoga practice not yoga perfect!
-
Do your very best to stay in the room. If an emergency requires you to leave, please leave and re-enter between postures.
-
Practice stillness between postures.
After Class:
-
Observe silence after the final savasana. Leave the room quietly, respecting others.
-
Be considerate to your fellow yogis and limit your shower time to 2-3 minutes.
-
Please wash your mats at home.
-
Mind that you have all of your things before leaving. Lost and Found is donated regularly.
-
Enjoy the peace and energy you’ve created for yourself here at San Diego Yoga Center!
