MATS & PROPS
 

We do not offer or lend "community" mats. Please bring your own yoga mat to all classes.

Yoga blocks and straps are available at the studio, except in the case of pandemics or other health threats.

 

LOBBY

We ask that students arrive between five and fifteen minutes before class is scheduled to begin (no earlier or later). This ensures that students from any preceding class have an adequate amount of time to gather any belongings and exit, so as to minimize the overall number of people in the studio. Please do not wait in the lobby more than fifteen minutes before class begins or gather before/after class with other students and teachers.

 

COMFORT
 

The studio door will be locked shortly after class starts, to prevent disturbance or other intrusion. If for any reason you feel anxious or uncomfortable during class, don't hesitate to exit immediately without permission or prior notification. Sarva Yoga has always been and will always be an accepting environment reserved for personal growth, not personal judgment. We want you to feel comfortable practicing yoga in our space. If you need to leave, no worries. Quietly step out and we'll see you next time.

To exit the studio, turn the lock counter-clockwise until the door unlocks. We'll re-lock the door after you.

 

HOW YOU SHOULD CONTACT US
 

Any written notice or completed form should be e-mailed to the studio: info@sarva-yoga.com. You may change or cancel a class booking online or by phone, text, or email.

Not all rules are listed in these terms. Sarva Yoga reserves the right to add, change or remove rules and conditions of participation in classes, workshops and other activities hosted at Sarva Yoga.

Policy Updates:

 

MANDATORY PRE-REGISTRATION; DROP-INS

During pandemics or other conditions that may limit our ability to accomodate classes at full capacity, classes will be restricted to twelve (12) students, and we will not allow last minute drop-ins.

​

MASKS
During pandemics or other conditions where health department authorities mandate the wearing of protective masks and/or other equipment, we will require you to follow health department mandates and guidelines.

​

STUDIO CLEANLINESS
While we have always maintained a clean studio environment, additional measures will be adopted during pandemics or other health threats, including sanitizing all high contact surfaces often. Hand sanitizer will be made available for personal use.

 

SELF-CHECK
If you aren't feeling well, or even if you are feeling well but have a cough, please act responsibly by staying home. Any coughing or sneezing in class will certainly create anxiety among some students.
