Studio etiquette
Welcome to SOMA Yoga!
We are so excited to welcome you to our Yoga home. Here are guidelines to make our time together in the studio the most harmonious.
We start our classes on time and ask you to respect that. Always make sure you arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of the class. Take this time to get ready for a class with no rush, let the teacher know if you have any injuries, introduce yourself to your Yoga mat neighbour, and just slowly settle in. In the exceptional case of being late to a start, please don’t enter the room before the opening meditation is over.
Be on time.
We have a strict no-shoe policy inside the studio room. You will have to take off your shows at the studio door, but feel free to carry & store them in the cupboards inside the studio.
Shoes-free zone
Make sure to either turn off your phone or set it to a Do-not-disturb mode. You are welcome to take photos/videos in the studio before or after class, but please be mindful of other students, and do not include them in photo/video material without given consent.
Shhh! Phones to airplane mode
We have amazing, non-grippy Yoga mats and high-quality props. The use of equipment is included in your class price. Please treat the studio equipment with care, and leave it clean afterward - we have wipes and sprays available at the studio. You are welcome to bring your own mat, but it is not possible to store them in the studio.
Studio mats & props
We offer infinite tea with honey & lemon free of charge. Please make sure to bring your reusable cup, ideally with a lid to prevent spillage. We’d love to invite you to find someone’s eyes and get to know each other over a cup of tea.
Take a reusable cup / bottle
Our teachers are instructed to always ask for permission if offering hands-on assists and adjustments. We use light hands-on adjustments to help you better understand the poses and to help offer modifications for your unique body. Please know that you can opt in or out before the class, but also during the class at any moment if you change your mind.
Hands on assists - choose your preference
