These rules help keep the studio safe, clean and calm for everyone. They are part of your agreement with us. We may update them from time to time. The current version on our website applies.
1. Arriving
1.1 Please arrive about 15 minutes before class, so you have time to settle in.
1.2 You're checked in automatically when you book. If you can't come, please cancel in the app at least 2 hours before so someone on the waiting list can take your place.
1.3 Once class has started, we may not let you in, for your safety and out of respect for others.
1.4 Take off outdoor shoes at reception.
2. What to wear and bring
2.1 Wear clothing suitable for yoga in a heated room. Clothing that becomes see-through when wet isn't allowed.
