Review of Etiquette and Class Policy

Class Policy:
1. Please pre-pay or pay for class at time of class.
2. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early , if you have extenuating circumstances and cannot arrive on time please talk to instructor prior.  Arriving early gives you sometime to settle in and get in the frame of mind for your practice
3. Please respect others space by not stepping on there mat
4. If you need to leave early always talk to instructor first on the appropriate time that will not disturb others
5. If you come to class with an injury please let instructor know so they can give you appropriate suggestions
 6. Please do not come to class if you are ill and contagious
7. If restroom is needed during practice please be as quiet as possible as not to disturb others.

 Most people attending a yoga class use common sense when attending a yoga class or workshop. However, here  are some etiquette and practice suggestions:

-newcomers, please attend your first session 15 minutes prior to class start time.
- please practice "asteya" (non-stealing) by showing up early for class
-please remove shoes upon entering practice space (and leave the ego at the door!).
-cell phones off
-no strong perfumes or colognes
-water only in practice area
-do not eat a large meal at least one to two hours prior
- when buying a new mat please "air" it out prior to class as the fumes can be offensive to others
-if you need to leave early please notify the instructor as to when the best time would be as to not interrupt the class
-when on the mat, and the practice begins, please keep your focus upon yourself;
yoga is non-competitive, and the environment is free from intimidation.
-yoga is not only non-competitive with others, but also with self. While in
our postures, we practice "ahimsa" (nonviolence). We don’t push beyond
our stretch-point, stay at your "edge". With physical restrictions or limitations,
we do not use force, we accept our current ability and work through
it, constantly evolving.  Most important have fun with yourself!
