Why are your classes so full?

We are a very popular studio and many people come to us for class.  We do not want to turn anyone away who would like to take a yoga class.

Do I need to sign up in advance?

We recommend signing up in advance, but it is not required.  We will accept payment at the door in cash ($10) or Venmo ($11).  

*Please note that some classes will fill to max capacity and we will not be able to accept drop-ins at the door. 

I need to cancel my reservation.  Will I get a credit for a different class?

Yes, you can cancel your reservation and receive automatic class credit up to one hour before class begins.  If you need to cancel after the one-hour window, you can email us to ask for credit.

Can you hold my reservation if I'm late to class?

If we have room in our class we will accept late arrivals.  But if our class is at max capacity with drop-in students, we can not accommodate late arrivals.

What time of yoga do you offer?

Our classes stem from various styles of vinyasa.  Each instructor comes from their own unique background and will incorporate styles and lessons learned from their experiences in vinyasa teaching.  Some of the more specific lineages you will find include but are not limited to:  Jivamukti, Katonah, and Dharma,

Are your classes suitable for beginners?

Yes, we welcome all levels to any class.  You are at liberty to move at your own pace.  But please note that our Basics class (Mon-Fri 6pm, Sat-Sun 10am and 3pm) are especially well-suited for beginners.

What should I bring to class?

Wear clothes that will feel comfortable for movement and sweating, i.e. shorts, tshirts, leggins.  Other than that we have all necessary props at the studio.  You are welcome to bring your own mat, or you can use a studio mat.  We have water filtration units at the studio to refill your reusable water bottle.

I forgot my water bottle at the studio.  What should I do?

Please come get it ASAP.  It will probably be in the exact same space you left it.  We do not throw out forgotten water bottle and our water bottle collection is getting out of hand.  Picking up your water bottle will help us immensely.
