What is "yoga etiquette"?

If you are new to yoga, you'll find that yoga studios are a bit different from a gym or other fitness facilities. Here are some guidelines:

  • Arrive on time (classes will be closed 15 minutes after the start time)

  • Turn off/silence your phone or other device, or leave them behind (vibrate mode is not silent)

  • Check in before class

  • Speak softly

  • Remove your shoes upon entering yoga room

  • Let your teacher know of any injuries or conditions that might affect your yoga practice

  • Check with your teacher or other staff if you need adjustments to the room environment (light, fans, heat, etc.) - please don't make these adjustments yourself

  • Make space for other students - in your class, and at the end of class when another group is entering

  • Put props away neatly

  • Don't wear perfume or other strong scents

  • Don't come to yoga when sick

  • Don't step on another student's mat
