This allows you the time to transition into your Yoga class. If you happen to be late, please be respectful and wait until after the centering/meditation before entering the space. When you do enter, please be quiet and mindful of the other students. · Please turn off anything that beeps, including cell phone and watches. · Please respect other students’ space by walking around their mats and not stepping on the ma
· Please incorporate a sense of Saucha or purity and only have your necessities with you at your mat. Clutter around your mat can be a mental distraction for you and others. · Please inform me or your instructor of any physical limitations or issues in order to receive appropriate modifications for you.
