THE YOGA SHALA ETIQUETTE
Sign In & TimelinessWe request that all students pre-register for yoga class to ensure their spot. Please visit our sister site, Olotita, to reserve your spot for Mysore class.
If you are attending a special event or workshop, please arrive at least 5 minutes early. This allows time for sign-in and setup of your mat without disturbing the practice of those around you. If you arrive late, please wait until after opening mantra to enter the shala. |
Equipment & HygieneThe Yoga Shala has extra mats available to rent for $2 for beginners or impromptu visits. These mats must be thoroughly wiped down after use. We do, however, request that you purchase a personal mat for regular practice. Bring a towel if you deem necessary.
Personal hygiene is extremely important. We ask that you arrive free of odor (perfume included) as this is unpleasant for the instructors and fellow shala users. |
Shoes/Personal ItemsShoes are to be left at the front door. Please, no wearing of shoes in the shala.
Cell phones should be turned off or silenced. While it is extremely important to hydrate before and after practice, we ask that you do not bring water into the shala during your yoga practice. |
ShowerWe are blessed to have a full-size bathroom with a shower for students wishing to shower before or after practice. Please bring a towel and any shower supplies you might need.
|
TalkingYoga practice is personal and requires a quiet and focused mind. Please save socializing with fellow yogis until after class has ended. If you need the teacher's attention, stand at the top of your mat and wait for them to assist you.
