YOGA ETIQUETTE
Snowcreek Yoga Studio wants your experience with us to be outstanding in every possible way. Allow this yoga etiquette to help you come prepared and feel relaxed during your time with us.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early.
Always check in at the front desk and sign yourself in – even if you’ve made an online reservation. If you are new to the studio, be sure to fill out a waiver or clickhereto download. Give yourself time to unwind, get settled and enjoy our beautiful space before your practice. The studio will be open at least 15 minutes prior to class starting time for your enjoyment.
Remove your shoes before entering the studio.
Leave your shoes at the entrance of the studio along with your coats. This preserves the sacred nature of the studio space, and keeps our floors beautiful and clean. We recommend taking your valuables inside the studio to place in the cubbies in the back room.
Turn off your cell phone.
This enhances your experience and is a polite gesture to your fellow students. Yoga is a tranquil, mindful practice and life is full of enough distractions so naturally we try to eliminate as many interruptions as possible. If you are on-call or in a possible emergency situation and must be near your phone, please let your teacher know and turn your phone on vibrate.
Ahimsa.
A Sanskrit word meaning non-violence. Do no harm in thought, word, or deed. Treat everyone including managers, teachers, and other students with kindness, compassion, and respect.
Be patient and kind with yourself.
With every practice you building up your strength, flexibility and balance. Every day you practice yoga is different. You might be able to do a pose one day but the next day your body might reject that same pose; accept your body's limitation each day.
Fill your bottle, save the planet.
We don't have cups, but we do have spring water and you can fill your water bottle for $ .50 per bottle. If you don't have a bottle, you can purchase a water bottle at our boutique and receive complimentary refills for one month. Alternately, you can fill your bottle from the sink for free.
Mats and towels.
We offer complimentary mat use when attending any of our classes. Mats and towels are also available for purchase in our boutique. If you borrow a mat, kindly wipe it down with our earth-friendly, people-friendly mat cleaner after class is over.
