Arrive a few minutes early to class. If you are new to The Yoga Loft you will need a few extra minutes to complete the registration form and payment. If you are late and the class has started please enter quietly. Please do not enter or leave class during meditation or savasana (final rest). If you must leave during the class please close the door quietly.
Practice on an empty stomach. We recommend that you wait at least three hours after eating before practicing yoga. If necessary have juice or very light food before class. Refrain from sipping water during class so that you can maintain internal heat. Drink plenty of water after class.
Alert the teacher to any injuries prior to class starting. This will help us know how to adjust you or give you a modified pose if necessary. This is for your safety and the longevity of your yoga practice.
Do not bring a friend who is new to yoga to a Level 2 or 2&3 class.
Purchase a yoga mat. We do have yoga mats available to rent for $1, but having your own yoga mat is more hygienic.
Please do not bring cell phones into class. Let the teacher know if you are in an emergency or on-call situation and we will make arrangements to accommodate you.
Remove your shoes when entering the yoga room. Help keep the floor clean!
Always sign in to your class. Check in with the front desk for every class you attend.
Be aware of personal hygiene. Refrain from wearing any fragrance to class and remember that mats need washing from time to time.
Attention to detail is often the gateway into a deeper experience. Yoga, more than being a series of physical poses, is also a state of mind and heart. It includes respect for the space and the people around you with a generous spirit. Thank you for observing our guidelines!
