Yoga Studio Etiquette

1. Remove Your Shoes

Walk alongside the room, to the cubbies in the back right. Do not put shoes on your yoga mat. Yoga is practiced in bare feet.

2. Turn Off Your Cell Phone 

Not to vibrate… OFF.

3. Arrive 5-10 Minutes Early 

This allows plenty of time to settle in, get centered, and prepare for practice. Check in with your mood and begin to let go of outside thoughts and concerns. Lie quietly, or do some gentle warm-up poses.

4. Don’t Skip Savasana 

If you absolutely must leave early, let your teacher know prior to class and leave quietly before Savasana starts. Be sure to allow sufficient time to collect your mat and belongings.

5. Respect the Teacher’s Sequencing 

Let your teacher know about any injuries or conditions (such as pregnancy) that might affect your practice. Your instructor will provide you with appropriate modifications. Otherwise, do not add to or skip poses in the sequence. Do not protest or argue with the teacher about a pose. Trust the process.

6. Don’t Try to Impress Anyone

If you reach the full expression of a pose, acknowledge it to yourself, but do not seek rewards for your effort. Attain what you can during your practice, then let it go.

7. Put Your Props Away After Class

If you’ve used blocks or straps, place them back the way you found them. Fold your blanket. If you borrowed a mat from the studio, wipe it down before replacing it.

8. Respect the Space

Practicing yoga in a group setting creates a sacred, safe zone. Observe silence before, during, and after practice. Allow room for other students to come in. Refrain from unnecessary talking, grunts, and moans. Do not chew gum — it’s distracting and unsafe. Never adjust the lights, fans, windows, or thermostat without permission.

9. Practice Cleanliness

Apply the yogic principle of saucha, which means "cleanliness" or "purity." Personal hygiene is an integral part of practicing yoga. Ensure that you and your mat are clean before practice. Further, avoid heavy fragrances.
