Etiquette for Yoga? |
 |
Absolutely. When in Rome, do like the Romans. This simple structure will help you to navigate your practice, the studio and your neighbors with utmost comfort for all.
We practice yoga etiquette to show our respect for ourselves, our peers and our teachers.

- Arrive early to class. Classes start and end on time. Please be on your mat with everything you need two minutes prior to the teacher entering the room.
- No glass in the studio. We're all barefoot; it's not worth the risk.
- Please keep the top on your water bottle at all times when you are not actively drinking.
- Stay until the end of class. It is important for your health and the energy of the group.
- Honor the silence of the room, especially during savasana. Please no talking, moaning or loud noises in the studio.
- Be a good role model. Practice your stillness and discipline between the poses. Notice if you are in front of a beginner. They will follow you.
- Leave no trace. Please deposit trash, recycling, mats and towels in their proper place. Bring home your clothes, water bottles and equipment. Please apply baby powder at home.
- Please no perfume, cologne or heavily-scented lotions in class. Did you know...one in five people have negative reactions to scented products?
- Follow along with the teacher. Try your best in each posture in the Bikram Series. If you think you can't do a posture, set it up. Please reserve additional postures or postures from other disciplines until after final savasana.
- We are happy to help you modify any challenging postures, but we do not use props in the Bikram Method.
- Come to class sober. Please do not attend class after using any recreational drugs or alcohol.
- Enjoy yourself. This is a life-changing practice. It is challenging, important and serious, but can also be a lot of fun.
